What next? Help with Super C engine rebuild

YTers,

Finally got started on finding the smoking/oil use problem on my Super C.

Took the head off this evening. The cylinders don't appear worn (very little or no lip at the top of the bore); they measure 3-1/4". The pistons have the IH logo on them.

Everything is carboned up. Two of the exhaust valves don't appear to be closing.

It was smoking pretty bad and using oil. I suspect oil was leaking down past the valve guides, but would that account for the oil control problem?

How do I check the valve/valve guide clearance? And, should I go ahead and pull the pistons out to check the rings?

Thanks,
Bill
