LOOK VERY CLOSELY at all the shims when you first remove the cams. Look for any that arent as far up as the others. Then look real close at the valves where the meet the seats for ANYTHING unusual.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Got the head off, none of the valves look bent. I'd post a picture, but again, it keeps saying "failed."
Jasper, about the picture thing, in case you didn’t know, in order to post pictures to the site, you should have those pictures hosted on another pic hosting site, like Imgur. If you’re interested, Instructions linked in my signature.

There's another problem. One of the cylinder head bolts is misaligned. It doesn't sit evenly with the other one next to it. It's the pair in between #3 and #4. 
As long as the cylinders and the head set on the dowels it doesnt matter. Be sure all the dowels are there and out it together. AS for as far as the up and down goes you can double nut the stud and remove it. Then loctite it in at the right depth and bream the nuts loose. You can hold the stud with vice grips in the skinny area to remove the nuts.

The problem is the nut. It doesn't want to tighten. I believe it reaches the end of the thread before it fully tightens enough to hold the head down.
So lets say the outer four studs thge nuts tighten....yes? Then make sure ALL of them are that length.......damn.

All the others are the proper length. Just this one.
SO make it the same

SO it's stuck and I can't extract it. Is there a way I can remove it without damaging it?
Due to the rust on it before, when I loosened the nut, it twisted the bolt out, too. But now, it doesn't grip like that anymore.
Just add some washers. It's what a PO did on one of mine.

Found the issue: the valves are bent. All of them show varying degrees of light when a flashlight is shone under them. I'm going to replace all of them. I don't think that the valves have ever been replaced on this thing, or it's been a long time.
Where can I get a set of intake and exhaust valves for a good price? And they're all 32, right?
This naturally begs the question: will any 32mm(?) valve work, or do I need to find specific ones?
