Lets build a SOHC for less than a grand
Trigger:
Barrels going back on, cam chain guide in and drop the barrels down. For some reason the barrels will not seat on the right hand oil jet and the left hand oil jet seated too easy. Barrels back off and I have a problem.
When I stripped this engine down, I was in a rush and had not noticed that the left side oil jet had been broken off in the barrel and drilled, also the right side had been drilled out so the oil jet could be fitted upside down :o I can't believe that I have had these barrels acid cleaned, peened, painted, rebored and it is not until I have come to fit them, I have noticed a problem ::)
Time to walk away and go back to it another day :'(

After a good sleep and a clear head.
Drilled out, reamed until I had a nice clean hole to work with and made some sleeves up for a press fit and a 9mm ID for the oil jet to sit in ;)

After my little repair to the barrels it is time for some head work.
Re grind the valve seats to Honda spec which is 37.5, a 45 and a 63.5 degree. Re face the valves with a 44.5 degree.
With valves and seats at a near match, just a little lap in with very fine grinding paste to get the perfect valve to seat match.
A smear of silicone grease on the valve stems and valve guides that were well within spec. Valve seating washers, valve stem seals and the springs back on with collects seated.
Locate the front cam guide and insert the tensioner and set it, head gasket on with upgraded 0'rings ( the only 0'rings I ever use from a full gasket seat are the silicone liner rings)
Head on and torque down to 18ftlb and will leave it as it is and re torque it again tomorrow ;)

A valve face doesn't need to be ground to death, you only need a 1 to 1.4mm face on them ;)
