This car came with a Felpro full-engine gasket kit, dated 1985. All of the top-end gaskets are all missing. A few of the exhaust valves use different keepers (three-groove instead of one), so I'm guessing someone did a valve job around 1985 or so. I cleaned off a couple of valves by hand to better inspect, and there's normal seat wear. I was gonna clean and reassemble, but I think it would be silly not to do a basic valve job while it's apart. I have plenty of spare valves and all of them look usable. The head and parts are at the local machine shop for a dunking. I'll see what Nelson the machinist thinks. He's good with old stuff and good at thinking on his feet. _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
