I think if you are having running/mileage issues with your 617 you are barking up the wrong tree. At this point in the game a lot of these engines are getting pretty tired.
If the head has never been off I'd think you gain a lot more by pulling it and sending it off to Metric Motors for a valve job.

I believe he can do that on the highway. I've done it twice on my W123 with 150K miles on it.
