Re: My Bargain $50 Heads!

Good price for heads for a stock rebuild. Not to throw doo-doo in this, but anything "performance" related done to those heads will be a waste of time. Port matching or even cleaning up the runners won't do anything.

However. Since you got a smoking good deal on them, you could surely take a Dremel or peanut grinder to them and practice. If you make a mistake and mess them up, you're only out $50 bucks! It's better than ruining a $600 to $1,000 dollar set of heads!
