	Are you sure that you are adjusted to #4 TDC (firing order is 
	1,4,3,2.) There should be no problem with just doing one or both 
	heads.

	Actually; by my calculations, I was properly adjusting #4.  Sadly, a
PO had switcèæjÛistro cap wires around, and #1 wasn't in the right
position.  After a friend pointed that out, I re-ran the wires, adjusted the
valves on the new pattern, and *blammo* purrs like a kitten.


	Hold a ruler across the 4 valve ends. Can you tell if this valve is 
	too far in, or too far out?


	Actually, the heads are new Brazilians; and #4 intake is .01"
farther out than the rest, but once I'd gotten the positioning on the distro
cap correct, I was able to compensate.  I was initially very frightened that
I'd purchased a chump-head, and would have to re-remove the engine and
replace it.
