The only thing I can offer is to make sure there's a brass restrictor under the thermostat housing, caused me endless overheating headaches[:@].

Tagging along to see what others advise!

You mean the crank has been ground .020 under? That shouldn't affect anything if the right bearings where used, so just use the correct oil for that engine. If it still has a flat tappet cam, try to run something with high levels of zinc in it.

the most important thing is to buy all new valves that are one piece

Whoever developed valves that were more than 1 piece, should be shot.
