When it comes to head rebuilding, I prefer taking it to a motorcycle machine shop. Scope: hot dip cleaning, disassemble valves, inspect seats and seat angles, machine valve seats, lap valves, replace bad valves or all valves, check springs, replace guides, replace seals, reassemble valves, extract any broken exhaust studs, tap exhaust stud holes, check deck for straightness and flatness.  I never tried this work, but I feel I lack the equipment and skill to do this work.  I would need to consider the cost of tools, how often I would use these tools, and consequences of screwing up the head.
