Thanks, Pete, good point. One of the compelling reasons for this teardown was to refresh the valves and to replace the original lifters with adjustable (the gaps are way out of whack). Since I'll be changing the lifters I'll go ahead with a cam regrind as well.
The good news is, at first glance the babbit looks good. (Note: dictionary wants to replace "babbit" with "wabbit", as in "wascawwy wabbit".) Need to check the clearances still but I'm optimistic.
