well that i am saying ??? i buy all heads bare that i build for the shop. i use parts i like and fit them to the heads. many times they may need a tune up . its not like i buy cheap heads many are cnc ported and are 3000+ bare with no hardware over the years i built well over 50 sets of cnc heads just for bbc and many sets of sbc many times they need small clean up work . to poor deck or valve job poor valve guide work . i not going to say whos heads they have been so called bolt on or machine work done set to build .i could write a book on all the things i fixed or sent back .i worked for a head company so i been there done it .if you can not check over the heads then have a machine shop go over them is all i am saying . this was just me posting a heads up on so called bolt on parts... i am not fishing for work ..i am not the only guy that owns a engine machine shop so if you know a guy like me then face to face talk he may tell you what he likes to use .i never said i would not use profillers or AFR s what ever ones you use check them over
