[Amc-list] 195.6 head is back

["Swygert, Francis G MSgt 436 CES/CECM" <Francis.Swygert3@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Great news! Clean the tops of the pistons real good. A vacuum cleaner
will get whatever falls on to p of the pistons out, tape over the water
passages.  That's what I did when I "machined"  the deeper dish in my
pistons while they were installed.

Hot tanking, magnaflux, valve job set me back $175, and a full
gasket set another $79. (They couldn't find a head set, eh,
doesn't hurt to have extra gaskets).
 
I had enough old valves and springs so that no new ones were
needed.
 
They fit Chevy modern type (hat with spring clip) valve stem
seals, so I don't have old rubber in there.
 
I probably won't get it running this weekend, too much else
to do.
 
Piston crowns and top of the bore have the usual carbon crud;
should I remove it? I hate the idea of it falling down onto
the top ring.
