Do it. You can smooth all the possible hot spots out of the combustion chamber as well while you're in there of course. And I'd definitely still get a 3 angle valve job, not just a re-seating. You'll probably want to toss some hardened valve seats in there as well while you're at it. That's another thing, the 75 head should already have them.

And yeah, I skim all the vintage forums as these engines can be talked about in each one, and there's some compatibility stuff that I can learn between the models as well, etc.
