Yes sir, since you've told me they've done yours several times.

I reinstalled the valves, valve stems, springs, shims, etc myself to cut down costs. They are within specs when I reinstalled.

Valve job is $150, decking is $60, sandblasting $27

I shuold have kept the HG you bought! So what's the plan on yours? I read you are getting V160, must be nice!

This is all I can find locally for lube, Torco is too expensive!

No one bought my R154 so I am planning on keeping it. No V161 for me. I may just install it and run with it and crank up the boost on my car and continue building a motor on the side.

Awesome job! I love the engine tear down of these build threads the most. How are you planning to break in the motor? Dyno or street?
