Is it fixable or cheaper just to get a used head ? http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af304/jeffreyhuff249/th_image.jpeg (http://s1018.photobucket.com/user/jeffreyhuff249/media/image.jpeg.html)

take the head to a machine shop and get new guides put in... as long as the head isnt cracked that is.

???? what?

take the head to a machine shop, have it pressure tested then if it passes have them replace the guides. Done deal and total cost will be substantially less than a new set of heads.
