What heads are those?

Get rid of them lol

If they are fixable, if, the cost to machine and labor would out weight the price of used cores depending on the casting#

Plus the bad karma might follow them

i have seen pics of Frankenstein Racing Heads work online. But only a good aftermarket heads would be worth tryin to save. If its a 243 thin a new single stock casting sounds better to me.

Here is a link:
