Couldn't get over the difference between stock locks and the comp ones as well as the stock springs compared to the beehive springs! Seat pressure is 192# and over the nose is 350#! Once all the guides are done, I start doing the valve job. One thing I didn't expect was how deep the valve would drop when I ground it out to have a 30* seat. Might have to replace some seats, not sure until I get going. (or do people change all the seats when building stocker heads??)

Anyway, 1:31 AM, time to stop for tonight I guess, lol.

Why 30 degree seats?
