Are these real? These heads are on ebay and I'm having a hard time believing they are real the seller says he can't send pictures of the casting number because he's out of town.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

What gets me is aren't the 243 heads supposed to have yellow paint on the springs and red paint on the intake valve and white paint on the exhaust valve ? He says they are new.
