When APE did the head, valve grind, guides, seals, .004 cut, I signed up for the 50 dollar valve spring shimming so they set em up equal and a little less staked I guess.
I talked to Jay before hand too about it and he thought it was a good idea. ( He actually is the one who suggested it).

What about the valves? Course lapping compound should show or take care of the pitting.

Started the lapping! It's going really well. Getting feel for the noise and vibration from the compound, pickup and move a bit- then continue until the noise and vibration smooths again- then clean and check...

Razor is just for pointing to the clean ring- couldn't get a good pic. It's super smooth though. Looking good.

The snap rings on the Pistons- they seem to be in great shape. The service manual says to replace them every time you remove them- has anyone ever re-used them before?
