If so you can be walked through the how to on marking and Disassembling Cylinder Head's . Any How -> how many Miles are on that Engine ?

Soooo if a guy just came out of a David Vizard class,you wouldn't trust him??.

Well call me foolish,but I do trust in the fact that NOT all O/P's are people without experience.Ya just never know that for sure.

Ed-not that you can't do head work,but more over the machinery to do the work forces the job to be taken to a machine shop.That is the practical logical answer.

Yes on the disassembly, I am very mechanically inclined, a walkthrough would be nice as I havent taken them in yet, no idea on mileage, but from the wear and tear I would say very low or very well taken care of

You know Ed-sometimes it is best to let them tear them down.It lets them inspect them as they where on the engine to might tell them the story about the engine.

If you can't Help the Guy at Least Think before you Post some off the wall stuff

If you really want to know how to check and rebuild cylinder heads at Home . I can show you . If not find a shop that you think will do good work on them . A lot of the old stuff is to far gone to rebuild at home . When the guides and seats are washed out then you have to send that work out . I can check them kinda quick and know if I can rebuild them at home or not . One Performance shop charged My Friend $140.00 just to take his Heads apart ? Mark stuff heck no ! He got them back in a Few bags I put them back together and they are on a 383 with a Blower now and work great . I did that work for nothing .

Forty yrs in the business.Go ahead to guide him into a re-do flash.Kind of a waste to check work that has to have the use of a machine shop anyways.If your friend paid $140.00 to tear down some heads,He doesn't have a very good shop to begin with because he got took.

LOL- that shade tree ever fell on ya??.

Even with two engine guys helping you . You still cant build an Engine what a waste of 40 Years Ha ! Don't be a Tango Hater because you can't do something Learn how . Or do what Tech told you Buy a Book on it Ha-Ha

Check the ego at the door here.That isn't how it is done here.Now maybe at the other site internet hero's get respect,but here ya earn it.I got more wins in drag racing/built engines than I am very sure you will ever get in your whole entire life.I do think Pat put you in your place once before and your surely silly if you think you can match words or knowledge with me.

Hint-Hint-the build I am doing issssssssssssssss alot different that the 9.90 engines we do and have done.Ya just never know do ya with the newbies(well newbie to you).

Tango-PM sent in a complaint to management by me.Just so you are aware of it.Enough said.We done now.

Hey Ed-I offer the same PM I did before.And filter you advise given.I promise you the on this site Pat and Jerry are the PRO engine builders.

So 1Gary I hurt your Feelings Ha-Ha I give a dame what you think or who you cry to . Like I said your a Tango Hater . Might as well shut down the Engine threads here and Farm out all the work to Shop's ha ? I only tried to help this man to do something that (he) really wants to try . I still am willing to do a set of heads to show him A-Z how to do them . And yes what to Look for and when to stop if needed . But you only bring negativity to this Post . If you don't know about something that Fine maybe you are good at something else Like Painting Help there . You Don't have to Post just for # gain . I have fun Building what I do and yes when I shut the Hood it's good to go for a Long time even being a Flat Tappet Engine build . Internet hero ? Ha-Ha COOL

Speaking of checking your egos buys and girls........Enough is enough, either you can assist the original poster or you cannot. Take the drama and the ego induced bickering offline......
