I spent about 20 minutes on this side so far. Should I keep going or call it good? I plan on using Felpro head gaskets.

BTW the cylinders cleaned up at .010" over.

Elbow grease and a 6" grinding wheel used like a hockey puck, then with a sheet of 220 grit 3M purple sandpaper under it. Hand lapped essentially.
