Chuck, I thought about this for a week now and I would really feel bad if somebody bought these heads based on your claim of them never being touched before you. I thought that the el camino had the small block installed because the 396 motor was worn out and had sealing problems. I also remember some markings on the sides of the heads that I would see if the heads had been at a machine shop and I remember imprints of what appeared to be aftermarket gaskets on both heads. I also remember at least 2 of the exhaust valves being a much lighter color than the others. This usually indicates water in the combustion chamber from either a bad gasket or a crack. I did not have the heads checked out before I shipped them out to you so I can only present my observation but I do not remember them being as nice as you represent.
