Yup, Dr. of motors. I no longer have the certificate but I do have the little booklet they gave us. It actually had a lot of good information for the day. Remember the day when you drove the old cast iron 6 cyl chev in to the garage in the morning and got a ring and valve job by evening. I saw it happen but I never did it.

Another thing I just though of. Pontiac had a real brain storm to reduce oil consumption through the valve guide. They drilled a hole in the head into the guide to reduce the vacuum on the intake valve guide. My boss bought one of those cars and I had the job of installing the update which was to put plugs in those little holes. I cannot remember what else we did. Must have put on valve umbrellas or seals , just don't remember. I think it was a 1960 model because he traded every two years and had a 58 Plymouth.
