I'm sure they include guides and seats. If not, you would need to send the heads to a machine shop as soon as you got them. We've purchased many bare heads, and the "bare" implied that no valves, springs, caps, etc were included. The bare prices are not much different than the loaded heads - if it were me, I'd get the loaded heads and save yourself the hassle. And if you have the sodium filled exhaust valves that you want to put in, simply swap them in.

Hi Bob, These are great prices. I was at the web site and have been trying to discern if the bare heads include guides and seats. I would be interested in a pair for a 2.1L.

You could get the heads bare and use your German valves (if you have the sodium filled exhaust can reuse once)

Any shops want to buy for a group purchase? I have mine but others might want a set cheap.

Complete heads in sets of 10 with a 50% markup is only $378.

Is there a shop on the list that will sell them for a less markup? Maybe they can sell to a group purchase if there is enough interest. If they do you could get TWO heads for a little more than one head. Add your hardware and save some money.
