Thanks for the responses.
It is out of my hands now. I dropped it off at a reputable machine shop to have the seats cut, surfaced, cleaned, guides reinstalled and valves & springs put back in. Hopefully I will get it back for the weekend. Thanks again, this forum is better than all the manuals combined.
