After lookin at the valves and piston in the motor,----- I think while heads off I will do a valve job on it. Pistons are tight, so a touch-up might help a lot.
Also gonna take the other head off and replace both of them as a matched pair from the donor engine. also will try the good manifold off the donor and see if I can make it work, so wont have to mess with the old one.
The re-built lift cylinders were working like a champ----no leaks, so I did something right on them! lol!
