Head Work

well i called the machine shop today and talked with the owner and friend, he said i can have my heads fully worked over for about $150, that means screwin studs, roller tip rockers, better springs, cromeoly push rods, and fully ported/polished. and i riped off the heads today, took about 3 and a half to 4 hours. not too bad. here are some pictures.

Really you get all that for $150? Are you supplying the parts? I'd watch out for that deal, the porting can't be good, if even done. If done properly thats like paying them $10/hour, for the work.

Thats alot of work for only $150!!!
