-- I was was/am planning on bronze guides and stellite or SS valves. Is
stellite or SS better?? I am also planning on hardened steel seats. I
was not planning on a new rocker as the engine only has 29K miles,
but it is a thought! What do you think about replacing the valve
springs since I have them off? The originals are over 30 years old
and I can not find any info in the workshop manual to tell me the proper
spring strength (I.e. length at a certain load).

--That is a good question. How do I tell? Do I just measure the
total head thickness with a caliper? I have a pretty good one
of those. You are right, I do not want to boost the compression too
much. I have a problem with run-on as it is.
