in my shop we have found the low end head makers when selling un assembled haeds turn out to be seconds -- in the past 3 /4 years every one we had that came to the shop -- turned out to be all over the place - seats, guide holes , even pushrod guide location not correct , dents in gasket areas , and yes if you get lucky and get a pair that is ok to completly re do --puting your own parts in is the deal, but buy the time you pay a REAL SHOP to fix them -- brodix track ones were in the money ball park -- jz
