the heads im getting are irons.

i would like to port them but i have never done it before and i dont really want to pay somebody for it again. so im thinking im just going to leave them alone. or maybe just gasket match the intake port.

when looking at these heads, is there a way to tell if something is wrong? he said thay have already had a valve job, seals, hydrolic roller springs with hardened retainers and keepers. and have been hot taked. is there anything i should look out for?

ive never bought used heads before.

what gaskets should i get for the heads and the rest....?

thanks,
adam
