Got a bit done....

Mocked up the heads and checked valve spring install heights. Measured spring pressures, got the game plan for the valvetrain. Adjusted install height is right at 2" and spring pressures are at 245/600. CC'd the heads, they came in at 93cc, dropped them off to have them milled. Taking 5cc's out.

Got the cam bearings installed and lifter bores honed. We put Timeserts in the heads for the rocker studs since the spring pressures are higher, and they blocked the feed hole in the heads, so I drilled and tapped the feed holes in the deck of the block for 5/16-18 set screws. I will block the oil there, and will oil the top end through the pushrods.
