I would like to (attempt to) grind the seats & valves in my early 1950's flathead Ford V-8 block. I understand that I'll need a special pilot to fit into the valve guide chamber to do the seats. I'm looking at eBay item # 262646231113. Can anyone tell me, in the 5th picture in the series for that item, is the item in the front of the drawer the correct pilot for the flathead Ford V-8 block? I have contacted the seller with this same question, but have not heard back yet.

Also, I would be glad to have any suggestions on how else I might proceed. TIA.
