Thanks for the points bro. A valve job is a difficult one to get done here, doubt any machine shop can do it.

I will read more into doing the bowl and the valve guide areas before I attempt it so I know what I am exactly going to be doing.

Thanks for the great tips man! I owe you one buddy!

another heads up is make sure your aware of roughly where your water jeackets are. that would really suck to hit one and then you have a trashed set of heads. also remember the less material between your water jackets and the ports the more heat is going to get through. just a lil think to keep in mind

I am keeping a very close eye on that, thanks for the heads up.

Just another tip...get the valve job done AFTER you port the bowl area. Don't ask me how I know that!!
