When I built my engine even though the machine shop surface matched the valves to the seats I still checked them for leakage.  While the block assembly was on the engine stand I rotated the engine upside down and poured paint thinner into the exhaust  and intake ports of the cylinders at TDC with a white paper below them to detect any leakage.  I repeated this process on the remaining cylinders in turn at TDC.  I had to re-lap several of the valves to stop the leakage.  This is a slow way to check each cylinder for valve seal.

Wow! Me I am a sucker for that car porn!

 

Wish I'll have time to do my engine as nicely some day...

The original cover tops of the air & oil cleaner look very sharp chromed. Just takes some time and work to polish them parts that good.

 

Congratulations for nice job!

fordkustom, Good looking engine! What camera did you use to take the pictures? They are excellent.
