Sounds like it will make a nice mill. Get it freshened up and stuff it in.

just pulled the right head off and found exactly what I was hoping i wouldnt find.

the valve failure that Charles had (caused by the Pauter Rockers) damaged one of the JE pistons, it put a bunch of holes in the top and also wedge the top of the broken valve halfway down into the top of the piston.

I knew going into this that I was going to half to replace the cam, lifters and get some valve work done, didnt realize I would have to get a new piston and also have the head cleaned up too from the shrapnal damage.
