Ken, All I have to say is "AMEN, AMEN, AMEN". If I have learned nothing else from my recent engine problems it has been this. Use new heads as Ken suggests. Also ... as good as the AMC heads are ... most seem to be advising to check and possibly replace the valves, depending on the brand used ... and rework the valve keepers. larry chase roadhaus.com - - - - Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2005 09:06:34 -0500 From: Ken Wilford <kenwilfy@COMCAST.NET> Subject: Re: head update (still bad) and a question and voting Never, never, never use rebuilt heads! That is all I can say. I am not getting on you for trying to save a couple of bucks, however do you see the reason why I advise you to never use rebuilt heads? |
