Good advice. To be honest, I am being a bit lasy but now I have stripped the engine all but the valves, I think I will do it as it was done originally. It may well be that as the engine had little use since I last ground the valves and set the tappets all it needs is a relap which is not a big job. Just awaiting me finding the tools to take out the valves. I have just taken out the crank and the front two mains were down to the copper, so it is just as well I did this. The shells have Ford USA T and 0. I assume, please tell me if I am wrong that this means standard? thanks for the comments and advice.
