update: While cleaning the valves, one was badly burned and had pitting on the face. so I am going to have to replace them. once less task.

Good. I hate seeing a rebuild with one new part and a bunch of halfway used up parts.

Here in Commiefornia we have to keep all the smog stuff on the cars 75 to 80 MGBs.

Best to have the head resurfaced professionally. Better skim it to increase CR. Exhaust ports had casting imperfections could've ground smooth to improve gas flow.

All good points... in fact I covered a number of those issues in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/epy4nn-CdrOkl68 bit long, and lots of detail, but I added chapters so you can browse through it a bit. Thanks for your contribution. I am certain it helps others on their projects.

Great info. Are you making a lapping video?

[@AlexPlatacis]

yeah, when I get to putting the valves back in I will cover lapping.
