Well gang, As recommended by some of the wise men here, I dropped my 327 double-hump heads off for a magnaflux before beginning to install them on my motor. I bought them used and have never used them-
The guy called today and said they have no cracks (good news) BUT he said they need new valves and will definitely need guides.. He gave me a price of $80 to install the valve guides. My questions are, I'm already out $50 for the flux- Do I pour the funds into these heads to have them redone? Can I do the valve and guides myself? It wasn't mandatory for me to keep the original heads for this motor or to keep an "all original" motor by any means, but I don't want to spend unnecessary funds if there's a better decision to be made. Please help- I just bought new springs and retainers for these heads, and now I'm stumped (and actually pretty PO'ed). I just bought the Crane Powermax 260-2 cam kit for this motor, and right now I was planning on using a stock manifold and a 600CFM carb just to get me back up and on the road for this summer. Any help would be greatly appreciated- Jim '66 Malibu __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
