shor Junior Member S Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 34 Louisiana	My 65 stepside has a valve nock that goes away after a while. I am contemplating pulling the head and reworking it. I may pull it and simply lap the valves and readjust after cleaning. Can I still purchase springs and keepers if need? Is this something I should leave as is or should I break it and then fix it. steve [email protected] O BLUE has 99,000 original miles
