Fawk dude, that sucks. Good intention gone haywire. Did you really have to change out the springs and seals? I remember once I tried to do a valve adjustment on my 67 VW when I was in highschool, when I turned it on the car was shaking like it was having a heart attack. Then I was like fuck man, it really didn't even need it, I decided to do it just because. I had to ph. a friend to cme help me fix it, but man for a second I wished I'd just left it alone. Good luck man, hope it all works out.

P.S. Any chance you can borrow a car to go to work in case you decide to send the head off for a p&p? Since the head is off...
