So, off with the heads and new valves and rockers? I'm not super opposed to do that, but if the problem still persists, I'd be super frustrated.

I have these '67 273 closed chamber heads (920) that will need some work and everything new, but I think they would be great on this engine.

i mean.... yeah?

at least the rockers, for sure. the valves might be able to be cleaned up insitu but i'd for sure be yanking them rockers and giving them the hairy eyeball and adiosing anything suspect.

if it's not manageable to clean up the valve tips, then i think it'd be reasonable to look at new heads if that's the way you're leaning. but for me, i like to solve one problem before introducing another variable into the mix.
