Yikes, Looks like trouble to me.....

Looks like a great job on the exhaust porting though.... but the centerlines of those valves need to be dead center, or you will get a lot of side load deflection. That will wear the valve guides out real fast.

Also looks like the vavle stem seals are not seated on the bosses unless they are umbrellas.

I would assume you have guide plates. The pushrods must be scraping the sides....

The only question I have is.... Was the head set up on a machine table and drill press cutting of the threads for the rocker studs?

If they did not go exactly straight in, the geometry would end up calked.

An easy way to tell, measure from center to center of each cylinders rocker stud. Each cylinder should have the same exact spacing. If they vary from stud to stud, then it was done wrong.
