The 292 in my 84 Chevy K20 is starting to use a little oil and blow by. It still runs really well and has even compression numbers. Anyways, I am wanting to rebuild a 250 mercruiser head I have waiting around to be used. I am thinking new guides and stainless valves, possibly mill down for a compression bump. I use my truck is a daily driver and tows a boat and 23 ft. travel trailer from time to time. I do have a big exhaust manifold and 2 barrel carb on it but that's the limit of hot rod goodies. Anyways, what would you guys do to the head to make it bullet proof and ready to work. My truck runs 3000 rpm at 65 for a 80 mile round trip daily. Thanks for any ideas
