cleaning up the slant six head

When I read this thread when it was first created, I was hoping it might turn into a head work for dummies type deal.

With zero head work experience, I feel like my best attempt would be nothing more than me blindy grinding away into a water jacket.

well you cant go wrong with a gasket match to a stock gasket. Also when you have the bigger valves installed have them use the seat cutter kinda deep, then just blend.
