I have a head that has been rebuilt some time ago , I am looking to tear it apart to clean and reassemble.
I see it has umbrella style seals on all 4 valves . The manual shows oil deflector seals on intake valves only
part number M3299T. Should i leave the seals on or try and source correct seals for intake only ?
Also the rocker shaft has wear on the areas that contact the valves , is it acceptable to clean the wear areas up with a file or
flapper wheel on grinder ?
Im hoping to have this thing running by x mass .....we will see

Re: 440 cylinder head rebuild question
My machine shop does not even put seals back on, I wouldn't worry about it.
A good machine shop will have a machine for regrinding the radius on the rocker arms.

Also should have read the manual first , it talks about cleaning up the wear on rocker tips.
