It’s all fun til the rabbit gets the gun.
Putting my heads back together. Will be at least 4 months or so before I fire this thing up. Do I use oil or assembly lube in the valve guides? If lube, any recommendations?

I would recommend assembly lube. I am using Sta-Lube by CRC with Moly-Graphite.

Always used oil (20-50 Racing) on the valves. Worked good for me.

Slide that over the valve stem, then slide the seal over that, then remove. Keeps the seal from getting cut by the sharp valve stem tip.
I made my own.
I also cut a piece of 1/2 plastic pipe to tap the positive seals on if you're useing this type.
In my "Photo Garage" I have some pics and tips doing my heads.
