Yep, the old days. I used to take off the head(s), put them in the truck, before school, drop it (them) off at the automotive machine shop in town, have the head(s) milled (actually trued), valves replaced or ground, buy a gasket set, borrow a torque wrench, take them back to the farm, install the head(s) adjust the valves, all after school.

Actual work time, not much more than two hours -
