Did you polish the heads while you had 'em off?
We rented that compressor but it was really nice to have. I also had to buy a torque wrench. Let me say, those are nice, but if you don't get the numbers exact, everything goes to shit.
The heads weren't polished, but they were cleaned meticulously to the point where one could probably eat off of them. Rubbing alcohol, q-tips and cotton balls are awesome.
I asked because I spend a LOT of time with bike heads; porting-and-polishing is one of my specialty upgrades for my customers. It's relatively simple (I use that term loosely), once you know what you're doing, but it improves the breathing of the engine considerably for very little cost. Engines are basically air-pumps, in terms of how they operate, so improving its ability to breathe-- that's why K&N filters and freer-flowing exhausts do so much for your power-- is everything, unless you wish to start punching out cylinders for more displacement. It's rarely even necessary to re-jet the carburetors, since the change is simply how efficiently the fuel-air mix moves from the carbs to the combustion chamber, not actually changing the volume of either. Changing the pipes or the filter, however, changes the total air-flow volume, and thus requires adjustment of the fuel mix unless you have a modern fuel injection system that automatically compensates (I don't think your Cherokee would have that).

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
