Blake, this really has to do with how many miles the engine has. If you are up in miles and or have less than favorable compression, oil pressure, etc, then this may not be a bad stop-gap measure while you save your beer money for a tiico or a new engine. But if this engine has low miles, and you want to drive it forever, then i'd probably go with new heads and NOT reusing the ones that came out. Do you know what your compression was before ripping the heads off?

good luck Matthew 84
