I don't know anything about your oil, except it doesn't ring a bell. If it's recommended, it's been talked about in here.

The valve train on a Savage is old engine design. Way Pre Catalytic Converter, and oils had ZDDP. Not so much today.

If you have wear on the rocker arms you need to look at the cam lobes they may also be worn or pitted,and I'd still be pulling the exhaust valves to see if they're damaged.

Once you have done all that, unless it's really good, I think you'd be ahead to buy Dave's head.

That don't look right...

Dave wants 380 for the head, new rockers are 100 and valves are 110, that's if I don't use the rockers I have and hardweld them, and if I don't lap the valves or the guides are bent. I have to get a tool for the valves so I will get working on that

So, how about this plan?
Buy Dave's head
Sell yours on Ebay for a few bucks
Take the time you would have spent trying to polish a turd, work a couple of evenings, make back the difference between Dave's nice parts and your head, and all the parts and tools you'd buy, and actually ride your bike this summer  Grin

Maybe my sales listing isn't real clear. It is ready to bolt on and use. It has a good cam and rockers, new valve seals, new sealing washers, a new compression release shaft seal, new oil valley O-ring, and all hardware is freshly plated.

The seats were freshened up by  Bill Moeller at Boretech and he inspected the valves and lapped them into the seats.

Which means it's worth about 3 times what he's asking ! (I'd snap that up in a hurry if I were you)

The odds of winning without paying for professional help or spending within pennies of what you'd spend buying Dave's head are slim.
