Head gasket replacement help/advice

They can and do become mushroomed and then they have to be dropped out through the cam bore. If they're mushroomed without question just replace them, the cam, bearings and the pushrods. Go aftermarket on the cam and SB Buick on the lifters. You'll get a little more lift out of your valves and the top end will remain in action long after your in a pine box.....

I'm very happy with the job the machine shop did. I haven't used this one before and it appears they did a great job. He had to take 12 thousands off the head that blew the gasket.
I have the valves back in and I lapped them before I sent the heads off. Next step is to clean the oil pan then put it together. I hope to have it done Sunday.
