Thanks guys. Alright for now I will probably take the heads off and take a good look. Maybe I’ll get lucky and the guides will be ok -ish. I can clean the valves. Lap them ? New guide seals and oil o ring. New keepers and see how it goes.
I didn’t really plan on machining to positive seals just yet.
I plan on a full gasket kit from butler so I’ll have the new head gaskets as well. And just install the stock black valve seals even though the positive seals I know are better.
I just know my limits. I’ve never messed with valve guides nor valve seats. So those I can’t do. But I can clean them up and handle seals.
Can’t make it worse. I hope haha.
I’ll attach a picture for fun of the large chunk that power washed out of my water jacket
