I am glad I am sure the seller knew this **** heads just don't spring a leak at least none that I have ever worked with.

Me you I'd ask for my money back, since he sold you a shitty set of heads, I am sure he will do minimum to get them fixed and if they blow on you then it becomes your fault. Me you give them back and start with another set of heads IMO

After the machine shop contacts me back with what is exactly wrong I will decide what to do.

The heads are shot to ****. They leak like crazy in cylinder # 1 intake port and can't be fixed.
