Did lots of 4Y engines. Nice to do. They are tough motors. Be ready to send the intake manifold be cleaned of an inch of baked carbon.
Make sure to remove head when dead cold (overnight sit)
Got away with using old head bolts. It's a toss up and replacing them.
Heads were known for receding valves. get head checked or buy rebuilt for $600

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
