Default Re: New heads

I appreciate everyone's input. I took the heads home with me to do some more thinking and research on it. Basically where I am right now is thinking I have three real choices:
1. Try to lap the valves the way they sit and save money for another day.
2. Have my heads done with 2.19 valves. ~$700 or so labor and parts. I'd have less than $1k in the whole set up.
3. Keep trying to find aluminum heads with ~260 - 270cc runners, 2.19/1.72 valves and ~100cc chambers for less than $2k.
I'm going to try for #1, but I think I'll end up with #2.
Don't stop the conversation if you have anything to add. I appreciate any knowledge you guys are willing to share.
By the way, this is the seat that concerns me and the reason I think I need to go to 2.19 intake.
It looks worse than it is, but it's still not good obviously. All the others are clean.
