    Yes most Engine work / rebuilding should not be done by Folks who have not worked with others who do know or through school have Learned how to do this work . And yes a worn out set of heads is just that and most of the time it would take hours of Machine Labor to save the castings . Ok EDhurl First Do you have knowledge of how to disassemble an Engine ? 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.
    Good Bye
