Heads are getting CCd and cleaned up. Not going to port them but going to knock off the sharp edges that can get hot.
Cam and specs to come.

Looking good Randy. I didn't read the entire thread but saw the pictures. What caused the failure to start with? Where the metal come from?
I have the heads off mine and the cam out. #4 exhaust lifter looks like yours did. Cam as well on that lobe. Collateral damage from the rocker arm failure Nov '13. 20K miles later some of the material that must have been in the lifter bucket made it's way to the cam. Sad part is I am working in Anacortes, WA till first week of April and my car is in my shop in Oregon waiting for me to do some torqueing. Moving up to G6X3 cam using LS7 lifters and LS9 head gaskets. Just in case I get around to adding a Whipple.
