My 40's champion has some valve and lifter wear.
Part 1: Exhaust valves mic out .001 lower than spec, and intake are at the low end of spec. You can move them slightly back and forth. I have no idea how worn the guides are!
Part 2: Lifters also have slight back and forth movement, so there is wear here as well.
I am not interested in dumping a bag of money on this, I do have to replace one babbitted connecting rod and maybe oil pump. Does anyone have any experience on what I could get away with? If I got to do a total rebuild then I might as well put a modern engine and tranny in.
