" What is y'alls favorite product?"
Spray Copper-Coat. The same stuff is available under two or three different names, all having "Copper" in them. I spray both sides. BW

Made a little progress today, still need to clean off the head to be ready for installation. Felpro kit says to use my favorite sealer on the metal side of the new head gasket. What is y'alls favorite product?

Been busy at work and finally got the valves in the correct position and hand lapped them, then this afternoon began reassembly of the new valves, new springs. Weather warmed up to 59 degs and humidity up to. Rain coming in tomorrow morn. Picking up my Felpro gasket set tomorrow. so maybe I'll be able fire it up this weekend.
Here's a quick reminder of where this this started several years ago... Edited by jeeper50 - 06 Feb. 2018 at 10:03pm |

removed guides I had installed in the wrong place, reinstalled 4 into the correct location to match the
E-I-I-E-E-I-I-E positions. I had installed several into the ol macdonald location...E-I-E-I-Oh crap Just shows if your not paying attention crap happens. Thanks Bruce for the 2nd set of eyes checking my work, LOL  Edited by jeeper50 - 04 Feb. 2018 at 9:46pm |

that was before they were driven, I will double check the positioning before processing, that makes sense with the manifolds thanks Bruce
Looks like I'll be backing up a bit to swap guides to their correct position, thanks Bruce for spotting that! That's what happens when ya don't document positions properly when ya take stuff apart, I'm placing blame on the beer! Edited by jeeper50 - 04 Feb. 2018 at 6:56pm |

Umm, jeeper50, your intake guides look a little high, I'm surprised you could even get the valves down to the seats, or was the picture taken before you drove them on in? The other thing is, umm, well, the valves in the L134 are not arranged I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E. They are E-I-I-E-E-I-I-E. Sorry. BW

Saturday morn here and time to install guides, began with the exhaust I used a 12ga bore cleaning brush to remove some carbon buildup left over from the removal. Hammer 1st one in to 1" below deck height then moved on the others. all went in fine no issues. Then came the intakes hammered first one down to 1 5/16 below deck and the tool became stuck. Grabbed some plier and gave it a twist and it loosened up, removed tool to see where/way it bound up. It had bottomed out against the side of the port against the cast iron, added (1) 3/8" washer before I installed next guide on tooling, other guides drove fine no issues.
Unwrapped all valves and test fit them for clearances, all fit fine. Checked side play all within specs for intake and exhaust valves. One note to add, install all intakes then move on to exhaust as the giude clearances are different and they look exactly the same. Exhaust valves have greater clearances for expansion from heat. Began hand lapping the valves. also noticed this block doesn't have hardened valve seats installed. will add lead subsitute to fuel for that.    Edited by jeeper50 - 03 Feb. 2018 at 10:50pm |

I had a friend make it for me using Roger Siminoffs' drawing. He asked that I post a link to his video so all can see how to use the tool.
Here is the drawing; be sure to follow manual dimensions for installing valve guides.  |
