rebuilding me cylinder head. What should I look out for to make sure the head is functional once I finish it?

I am replaceing valves, springs, retainers, guides, o-rings, gasket, and new head bolts.

dont want the motor to burn oil, or have leaks.

 

Have a pressure check done by a machine shop

 

I just did a check on mine yesterday

Cylinder #3 turned only 150psi

I think crack valved.....or I hope its only that. Looks like this isn't all that uncommon.

 

people say it should be in the 200s to be standard, but I just took my head off and got 180 on the two that did not leak, but 90 on the ones that leaked. 3

who knows, do a leak down lest just in case.

As for pressure test, defin that is on my list.
