Default Re: 3873858/3904391 BBC Heads

Okay, I just got the heads back from the machine shop.....and $212 later I had them replace the broken valve guide, along with being cleaned and pressure tested. No cracks were found in any coolant passages but they did visually find some cracks by the spark plug holes in the combustion chamber. They were concerned that the cracks might continue so they pinned them which means they are now 100% guaranteed ready to rebuild with no issues.

Again, these heads have been gasket matched only. I did forget to mention that they include the valves which are 2.19/1.84.

Even after the work I just paid to have performed, I lowered the price to $1500 for the pair.
