I need new heads on my motor. and if these work, its a lot cheaper then rebuilding the ones I got... what kind of questions should I ask?

Re: does this look like a good buy?

be very careful buying used heads.the only reason i said that is i bought a set with a hairline crack that couldn't be seen by anyone. but the machinist found it.seems they appear when heat expands.check em over closely.

Re: does this look like a good buy?

I remember that there was a home test that you can use to see if there were cracks. I cant remember who it is. anyone know? and would that be something I should use, preferably before I buy? lol like they would want to know that the heads there selling are busted...... lol
