I pushed the truck back out of the shed so I could get to the front and work on it some more after our fun weather over the weekend. I retested piston to valve clearance and came in right on the nose at .125, way more than the .080 minimum for the intake. The exhaust was miles away from that, needless to say the .010 minimum for that is a non-issue.
I started cleaning things up, pretty sure the PS bank is ready for the head. The DS may be but I was running out of light and couldn't see what I was doing towards the end. I dissassembled the other head and it needs a couple seats touched up, shouldn't be a big deal.
