Dumb question: What does it mean when heads are sold "bare?"
Does that mean simply that they do not have any of the valvetrain on them? So that if I already have all the valvetrain bits (i.e. springs, seats, seals, keepers, retainers, pushrods, etc etc), I can just bolt them on to the "bare" heads and I will be good to go?
I should know this by now....

Be careful on this one. Most BARE heads are sold fully machined in the critical areas including intake ports/entry, exhaust ports/entry and the mounting bosses for hardware and accessories. HOWEVER, many brand new BARE heads do not include final machining to the valve guides and seats, as the valvetrain components/set-up will dictate the final machining required for final assembly.

Is that right?
