What, are you in a hurry now?
that is cool.
Have you considered buying the new castings 1.8 liter heads?
Those seem to cost less than reworking the old heads.

Not a huge hurry, just want to get it done in more timely manner than most of my projects that get dragged on for years
As dirty as those valve are in the picture, they as well as the valve seats show very little wear or abuse and the rest of the heads are in great shape now that I fixed the broken studs and next will be to surface them, just a light dusting to fix the damage from blow by when the head gaskets failed in a few spots.
I'm still looking for direct fit SS valves, I want to say these are 41mm intake and 34mm exhaust.
The 2.0 valves I can find easier are 42mm & 36mm, if I go that route then new seats and guides, so far $280 in parts for valves, seats and guides and I found a shop local that can do the work in the mid $300 range.
I've spent a little time researching doing some or all the work myself, the valve seats have me nervous. We'll see, I just might end up cleaning the old valves and just throwing them with a little lap work.
edit, look what i found
