Hopefully I'll be at that stage this weekend. Was it $30 for a set?
Got the head all back together, new everything... All that's original is the casting itself, the valve spring keepers and 4 of the exhaust valves.
Maybe we could visit that welder friend of yours soon too, I got the m30 intake in to hack up, finally. USPS held on to it for 3 weeks at their shipping depo in CA.
