For those who are interested.
I had to buy a new set of pistons. I honed the cylinders, the pistons are in and I installed and assembled the rebuilt head I bought.
The little labeled baggies of parts are getting emptied and installed and the bags thrown away. Some of you might know how good that feels, after having the car in the garage, on stands and disassembled, for weeks.
Hopefully it runs when I'm done.
