Don't you mean how everything came apart so you can put it back together? Unless you already put it back together? I know with that mess that you have in the garage I would be worried also.

Jeff said his machine shop shouldnt have a problem re-seating the valves so I was lucky and can reuse my head. I just wish the shop he uses could weld and machine the seats so I would have to never worry about it again but he assured me he has never had a problem with dipping the seats in liquid nitrogen to get a tight fit. Hopefully he is right because I would be cool with never having to do this again.

Eric, we install all out valve seats at work the same way Jeff is installing yours. They go through many start ups , run time, rapid cool downs, and we have not droped a valve seat yet. We let them soak in liquid nitrogen for about 30min each then beat them in with a hammer.
