I am in the process of putting in a LSV in my integra, got a fully built block but will be reusing the head that is on the car right now. I will be taking it off today and dropping it off Tuesday to get hot tanked and cleaned up. After that what all should I do to it other than having new valve seals put in? I want to have everything checked, springs/valves etc, to make sure they are good but should I do anything else?

Also, are all valve seals the same? I'm guessing I should go with OEM right?

 

Supertech makes nice valve stem seals and springs

An OEM valve job and checking the valve guides is always a good idea.

 

It's a fully built head by Alaniz, had comp head work done to it with pro chamber work so the work itself is good, just want to freshen it up as it already has like 20 to 25K on it.

You think I should have him do maybe bronze valve guides along with the valve seals? Anything else?

 

i would send it back to Alaniz to freshen up, local machine shops might f up the valve job if they dont kno what they are doing, will hurt the flow of the port work.

 

Agreed

 

It's gonna be done by Redzone, a local race shop with a good rep. I will give them a call and see what they think.
