That being said however, I have several mechanic friends, a lot with their
own equipment at home like valve grinders, etc. so I can get it done anywhere
from cheap to free.

Hmm, I forgot, I've got a head that's been magnafluxed and the whole nine
yards. it's supposed to go on a rebuilt engine that's been stalled for
funding... maybe I'll use that one and get this other one done later if I
ever get that rebuild going again.
Were the heads all the same throughout production? I seem to recall reading
somewhere that was the case, but I don't remember for certain.

Shows how much I know. I thought that required removing the engine! :P
I guess I'll go home a read up on it. ;)

I'll have to check when I get home. What's good/medium/bad?
Thanks for the assistance.
