if you do get into freshening the motor, don't forget to O-ring the heads while you're there?

maybe MLS head gaskets and a set of 968 valves, too??

I've got my Euro heads at the machine shop for a good going over---port and polish, 5 angle valve grind, clean the bowls up, head/block surface milling (just enough to clean it up), O-ring (for blower application), and possibly bigger/lighter valves with a fresh set of springs.

Combined with a Devek grind set of cams and light weight cam buckets, that should really wake up the top end of my motor......

Then again John, you could just leave it alone and see how long it stays together as is........as if there's any doubt it'll run forever the way it is now.
