A good valve job, 3 angle or better is a good idea and deburring the cumbustion chamber can eliminate hotspots. Don’t neglect the head, you should at least change the valve seals.

The block will be fully machined by my old man and I, and I’ll be spending a bit of time on the head doing some smoothing and port matching. I’m not looking to change the direction of this motor, just want to build it solidly, tune it properly and have it for a very long time. Nice conservative numbers like 280-300 to the wheels max… 300 at the crank is fun enough 🙂 There’s a company advertising on [KA-T.org](http://KA-T.org) called Underground that has some great deals, but I still have to check out the separate prices. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ka-rebuild-kits/129292)._
