Vq30de build
Ya I've seen quite a few failures on them. Isn't it fun grinding and measuring all 24 valves?! Haha, I remember doing the heads on my 3.5. Did a 5 angle valve job and ported the heads. What a PITA and time consuming but it pays off. Are you going to be porting the heads?

Ball Honed the cylinders to remove surface rust and check for pitting in all of the cylinders, 1 cylinder had 1 pit in it.... so close to getting away without boring if I wanted to but of course I want that 1mm extra displacement

Pressurewashed the heads and started to remove the shims and buckets, 3 buckets will not come out I have pushed them in with rubber mallets and oiled them with 10w30, wd40, pb blast I even forced them to spin by using a pick pushed into the oil feed hole in them but I still cannot get those 3 out the rest either pulled out with a magnet or the previous method.
