I've got to do my valve seals. Anybody have somebody they'd recommend? I'm not looking to flow the head, just clean it up and redo the seals. Right now it look like this:

Looks like you've already done the hard part. The valve seals are just a rubber boot that slips over the valve stem. Super simple...

Yup. TK can do that for you if you don't want to. Otherwise, if you have a drill press, go buy a pack or two of Scotch Brite pads and clean each valve while in the press (you'll need a spring compressor to take them out, obviously). If lacking the tools I'd give TK a call though, they can probably make quick work of it.

Yep, called TK earlier. Got a quote of about $300-$350. Have to see if I can scrape that together, otherwise, it will be a new learning experience. ;)

Did you mention you were referred by the CSC and you're a member here? That may help the price a little...
