Hey Cylinder heads guys- advice needed

SSG_Karg said

I just discovered something that makes me very nervous......
Take a look at where the rocker shaft bolt holes are drilled in relation to the reinforcing ribs on the pads.....looks like head “A” is drilled centered on the ribs while head “B” is drilled offset to the intake face. I fear I may be f’d.

Core shift. Don’t sweat that.

I see zero top cut in the above pictures. The valve job isn’t done until the top cut is in as wide as it can be and the bowls are finished.

As long as the valves are the same length (effective length from the seat to the stem, not the OAL length) fixing the valve job SHOULD fix the stem height issues.

Unless of course they are not the same length or someone has stemmed the hell out of the intake valves.
