Dart Iron Eagles 200cc runners, 2.02, 1.60 valves, 72cc chambers. A friend of mine had given me these heads (free) after blowing his 383 engine. He said that just one valve was bent. So, I replaced the one that was bent. The heads only had around 30 miles, so I just installed them on my new engine. But was only running on 6 cyls. So, off to the machine shop the heads went. They ended up replacing 4 more valves. After a fresh valve job and parts totaling $184.00, I figure I'm still ahead of the game since they were free heads.....
