HELP Cylinder Head
I have to do work on my 75 Valiant cylinder head. It is a peanut head. I was going to buy another 225 for real cheap that also had a peanut head so I could do a dry run and get some practice in but didn't make it in time. So I hopped on FB and picked this one up for $40 to practice on. It came out of a Power Wagon and it has plug tubes. Stamped code on the bottom reads 7918PT?
Anyway... The exhaust valves sit deeper than the intake valves went seated all the way...
Also the valve guides are different heights between intake and exhaust... Is this "normal" for this type of head? I threw a bit of grinding on an exhaust side and it looks like this
My main question is whether this head needs/should have new seats put in or should I lap away? After cleaning of course...
I thought I could use this one temporarily while I get my peanut head right since this car is my daily so I didn't plan to invest a lot in it.
Thoughts? Thanks.
PS - This is what it looks like if I even out the top of the valve stems
