After the valve job has been performed by a professional, the head will be in like-new condition. When the head is returned, be sure to clean it again before installation on the engine to remove any metal particles and abrasive grit that may still be present from the valve service or head resurfacing operations. Use compressed air, if available, to blow out all the oil holes and passages.

A home mechanic can remove and disassemble the heads, perform the initial cleaning and inspection, and then reassemble the heads to deliver them to a dealer service department or an automotive machine shop for the actual service work. This inspection allows the mechanic to assess the condition of the head and valve train components and determine what work and new parts are required.

Use liberal amounts of oil on the cam lobes and journals before installing the camshafts. Carefully measure the valve clearances again before installing the valve cover to ensure they are correct. Follow all lightening sequences and torque specifications. Ensure all electrical and hose connections are correct to avoid issues like the Check Engine warning light illuminating or poor engine performance. After installation is complete, run the engine and check for any leaks.
