Are you doing a factory rebuild or are you souping up the engine in any way?

just a top end, damn thing ran great! just overheated and skipped (you can see why, cyl one has been steam cleaned by the headgasket!)

 

so i took a spare 93 head down the the machine shop, had it decked, and a valve job done on it, painted it general lee orange and slapped it together,

 

she'll run tomorrow, just need to change the oil and put on an filter adapter o-ring, then fill the coolant, and put the fans/serp. back on and she's good!

[Oizarod115]

fired her up today, runs good!

 

good temperature, no clicks, purrs like a kitten. and no exhaust leaks anymore.
