Was looking for a rebuildable 2.0 head in my pile of stuff and I came across this one with an issue I've never seen before. It looks like the base on the valve spring has been moving back a forth in the head. If you look at the first pic you can see the metal has been pushed up to make a ridge at one side. The second pick shows that the valve guide boss as been repaired and is smaller then normal. So--has anyone seen this happen before? What needs done to repair the damage to the head? Thanks, Ray
