Thanks. I will review the specific items in the gasket set, that's good to know. I plan on shipping my heads to someone on the board to let them determine what does or doesn't need replaced, so good suggestion and I agree. I just stuck all new valves on the list to be conservative.

I wouldn't mind if someone else would do the whole rebuild and let me watch, because I am actually a little nervous that I will screw something up and there are lots of somethings to screw up. I just don't have the budget for parts and labor to split the case, so labor has to be donated. I am excited at the same time and plan to take my time (6+ months). I actually bought both of Wayne's books a year or two before I bought the car, plus I have Bruce A's book too.

I have both an ATV jack and engine stand. I replaced the clutch last year along with both the speed and reference sender.

Should I plan to replace the valve springs or can an expert evaluate them to determine if they need replaced? It seems they would suffer fatigue over the years.
