Question on getting heads checked
Question on getting heads checked Hey guys, I need a new pair of heads for my TA and am probably going to pick up a used set off of a '98 for $80.
Searching through some threads it sounds like I'll want to bring them to a machine shop to get the heads checked for straightness and check the valves. I called up RPM Engineering here in Faribault and they quoted me $115 to clean both heads, completely check them over, and make sure the valves are seating properly. Does this sound like a good price to you guys or should I keep shopping around? They're the only machine shop in town but I'm close to the Twin Cities so my options are somewhat open. Thanks!

As far as price, that sounds right.
Thanks guys. I am looking to get away from this as cheap as possible and don't want to buy new valve covers. Also, I am going FI soon so I don't want to bump up my compression at all. If I could find some 6.0 heads for dirt cheap, that would probably be the only thing I would swap out for over '98 heads.
Turbo is already bought and is in the living room. It's funny **** isn't it? Nothing goes wrong with this damn car until I shell out the cash for that damn turbo!$&*#*@)@!!!!!!

How do you mean? I haven't heard that before. But honestly the most I plan on pushing out for quite a while until I get better heads is going to be 7-8psi.

Verdad Gallardo Ryan, some early cylinder heads had 2 small cast in notches along the spark plug side on the gasket surface. If your heads have these you cannot use the newer mls gaskets or the engine will leak water externally along the block edge. If you have these notches you will need the graphite gasket to seal the water system.
