1st 318 rebuild

yes thank you.theres a casting mark half way up the push rod i have just taken enough off to get rid of that and straighten em up.what you do wrong on your 1st attempt? figure do like you say and just clean em up shouldnt go to far wrong. will do other head next cpl days then go back over both and even things up. will be getting a 3 angle valve grind as well.cheers
