Er... what? 120-130

Actually, I waited nearly 4 weeks. The seller (eBay) got really flakey. So badm, I never expected to receive it. I filed a paypal dispute and it showed up the next day (it only had to come to St. Louis from Chicago). Seems that finally got the fire going under the dude.

This site:
http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/valvejob.html
has a nice write up on valve jobs. The application appears to be for an airplane, but it has a good photoset of the CC and Valve grind.

I'm really not going to go that far right now. I just don't have the time.

I've been amassing data on assembling a perfect B18. I want something with excellent flow and a perfectly balance bottom end. This engine will not be it.

Right now, I just want to be sure the head I put on is in good shape. I got burned badly when I tried the car's "original" "rebuilt" head back in March. It turned out to be very poor and I wasted two $25.00 Head gaskets and a lot of time finding that out.
