Do you guys think I should take them to the machine shop that did my short block for a valve job and new seals? They want $150 to vat the heads, magnaflux, check the guides, 3 angle valve job, machine them flat, and new seals. And with a .534 lift cam, I'm not sure if the stock valves can handle it. I think I can get a Comp cams set for like $80, single springs that will take that lift. What do you guys think? should I do that, or just bolt them on?
I'd definately go for it. Sounds like a pretty decent price. Will this guy sell another set of these heads? I have been looking for a good deal on heads. If you dont mind, see what you can find out and let me know. Thanks in advance.
