Experience is worth a lot!! Which is what I don't have a lot of with this thing. And I don't want to get my experience the hard way, by learning from my mistakes after the motor is back in my Westy. So I've already spent at least 5 hours on these heads and $140 to have them rebuilt...and I just learned that I wasted my time and money...those heads have tough me enough...LOL. I have 2 good heads on their way so I can retire my tired ones. Thank you everyone who offered their experience on this one, and thank you very much Ben for posting my heads for everyone to see and comment on...that was much appreciated and unexpected.
