Heads were not flat. Valve guides were sloppy. Plus all of the gaskets and such.
It probably could have cost less but I took the heads to a shop that also builds race engines. I did not want to have to do it again. Even still had some minor issues after that. Loosing coolant and acting thak it had an intake leak. Figured that it had a possible issue with the block or something else.
When I sold it, Greg just said that if he had to replace the block he was still money ahead. Funny thing is that Greg has no problems with it at all. He says that it runs great for him.
It's all water under the bridge at this point. Funny thing is that I am not really that upset about it. I just figure that I will stay away from the blue oval and go back to the dark side.
