I checked the springs, they are still good so will re-use them. I removed all the carbon from the valves using a wire wheel they cleaned up pretty fast. There were a few bent valves that I have replacements for but the valve job looks really good so I will install new valve seals, lap in the valves and re-shim the springs and that should be it for the heads.
Since you're running race gas, mill the heads and get compression up to 13.5-14. Might as well make running race worthwhile.
