So someone else does the "head job" or you took it somewhere? Clean it up, lap the valves, new gasket?

The last shop I used, did small motors like tractor motors. Skim and true up the flat, clean, check valve guides, replace valve seals and lap valves. Will help compression and oil usage

Thanks! I could pull it on a pallet, set it up at home and do it myself, from what I've been able to ascertain and past rebuilds I've done, but I ain't got time to learn everything and not frig something up. Headed south end of month. No snow removal for this kid this year. Boat will get shrink wrapped and I'll pick up where I left off in March-April.
