able to reuse the heads? or did the piston hit it?

smokinss 02-24-2013 08:27 PM

Nope. Pistons hit. Its OK though instead of the 853 I have the 241 castings which are supposedly better. Kind of sucks because I am out the money for the head work

ILuvPizzaTimes10 02-24-2013 08:54 PM

cracked or just dented? brodix offers head repair.

smokinss 02-24-2013 09:44 PM

Not spending that money on a stock head. Plus they only do there own heads now.

At least they're worth a few bucks as scrap.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 02-25-2013 01:56 AM

well that sucks they only do there own!!! and i kinda see your point. i just didnt know what work you had done IE port work or what not to make it worth it. too bad a good decking couldnt fix them and you could sell em and recoup some cost.

They were decked and cleaned up with a valve job. Two of the chambers took the damage. No biggie. Making good progress. Engine, trans, exhaust is all in
