I was taken apart with Greg X. being the tech person many times, there was no funny business, if he didn't like what he saw, you were out. That's when the valve spring pressures had to be spec. and if the valve was bent or not, your presure had better come up right. I was tossed with a valve spring being too tight by 3 lbs. on the seat and the valve was bent. It didn't matter, it wasn't spec in Greg's eye. That's when Stock was Stock and no after market anything was allowed.
If you came apart at Maple Grove, you went to a pig farm for the tear down in an old barn. I think that that was one of Greg's favorite places for the tear downs.
