Interesting job. I agree with QikSilver. Hard to believe a flat rate guy does this right.
Asked Jay about it. He said this is a job you have to take your time at and stay focused.

Took it apart and cleaned up things tonight.
Will attempt the valve check/adjust tomorrow.
If things go well, will put it back together Sunday or Monday, assuming that I will be finished polishing the spare cylinder head cover I purchased.

Awesome engine.
