Assembling the engine Volvo B20B - Cylinder head

This weekend I started assembling the Volvo B20B engine.
First thing to do was replacing the valves in the cylinder head.
Altough the inlet valve seats were vacuum tested I decided to give them a light grind so the valve and the seat would have exactly the same slope. I didn't grind the new outlet valve seats because they were already cut in the same slope as the outlet valves in the shop.

After grinding I cleaned the head thoroughly with air. Then the valves and springs were replaced in the cylinder head. I used assembly lube to lubricate the valve stems. Because this oil has a high viscosity I also used it on the tiny collets to "glue" them to the valve stem while releasing the valve compressor.
