Are they ported already? if they are stock 243s, just buy another head. Not really worth fixing in my opinion.

Doesn't look as bad as a lot I have seen but if you can find another head for $100-150 I would do that before bothering with that one.

Imo not worth it to repair a oe head. They can be had for about same price as a fix.
I lost a heavily ported 243. flowed 330+. But in the end was not worth to repair.
