Very clean lifter valley, had Fel-Pro Gaskets for the intake, and valve covers, the head gaskets are Fel-Pro too.

No signs of build up or sludge anywhere. Valve lash is tight, no play whatsoever.

I'm going to be doing that sometime this week, and I might be pulling the heads too. I was informed that to run any kind of higher lift cam, the springs need to be changed. So I might just have them ported and shaved as well.
