[Hottrucks]

yesterday tore part a 425 I got that I was going to use the heads off of only to find out they arn't as good as the ones I have.....

so today I pulled the heads on the 500 and pulled all the valves out put in new oil rings and lapped them all in.... well except the one that was bent.... I was surprised how well everything came out even after hearing all the horror stories about beating the fire wall back just to make it fit..needless to say the vavle covers came off used the engine hoist to pull the intake off in 1 piece unhooked the exhaust pulled the head bolts ( torqued to 115 lbs 50 years ago) hooked the hoist to it let it sit for 20 min with tention till the gasket let go the lifted it all out cleaned up the valley....tomorrow I'll start soaking the lifters till I get the gaskets on Monday....should have it back together in 2 hours....
