Allright... some progress but still waiting on more bits and probably won't have everything (cams specifically from webcam) in-hand until March 10th. Picked the heads and cam towers up from Exotech tonight. Quite satisfied with the appearance of the work done as it was a thorough sorting/servicing.

-Cut Valves and seats, confirmed guides within spec, new stem seals installed.
-Replaced intake studs increasing length 1CM to allow the Porsche Mail Order carburetors to hold more than 2 threads
-Installed Eibach 20444.212 (Set of 12) High Lift Spring 31.75 mm 17.3 mm 90 lbs @ 36 mm 277 lbs @ 23.3 mm 12.7 mm
-Resurfaced/cleaned all heads
-Cleaned cam towers, removed and evacuated oil tubes/carriers







Purchased the hydraulic chain tensioner kit to update from the mechanical style chain tensioners but they shipped to my sisters house 3k miles away. Those should be here within the next week or so. All for now, more to come as we begin the reassembly.
