Restart the rebuild

Been a while since I updated, but was working behind the scenes with another member Graham to get heads machined ready for springs.
Graham offered to help me with advice/parts. Cutters to get spring pads and guides where they needed to be for Lunati 73949 springs and Qualcast seals.
Had to make a wood cradle to help hold the head while cutting guides down.
Pulled inner springs and installed the outers so it's ready for cam break-in.
I'm not the greatest student lol, so I appreciate Grahams knowledge/patience lol.
Next step(I think) is the rocker arms/shafts/pushrods. I would like to add banana grooves to the shafts, but not quite sure how "precise" I need to be lol.
Thanks again Graham! @Max1196 :thumbsup:

All you need is a hand drill until you want to actually sink the pockets. When you're just cutting down the OD of the guide that locates the spring, drill works fine.
