UPDATE 7-30-09..!!

just got back from machine shop, had head resurfaced & milled also cleaned it so its lookin shiny internally, new valve seals, valves adjusted and pressure tested "none floating or burnt", also resurfaced the block for a 100% seal w/ the head.. Contemplating on takin out block internals and giving the block a mild hone but i threw 195psi straight across, an passed all other pressure/leakdown tests...
