O.K. Now I started it!
Pulled the engine for a rear main seal job and decided to have my heads machined. I am looking at harded exhaust rings and three angle job.
Also thinking about new lifters,rockers basically all upper end.
I need advice for my lower end, as I really do not want to touch it.
What do you think?

I removed the engine because a rear main seal leak so I never did take compression.
I never did think about that because the engine was felt good. It always atarted right up and always pulled hard. I am still tearing her down so I will check for ridges along the cylinder walls.
