so I bought these used ported 317 heads. I took them to a machine shop to have them looked over. Turns out I needed all new valve guides, and a few valves. When they port heads, they grind the valve guides alittle. Now, the new vavle guides are stock shaped.

20-30K Who knows.. its not like anyone would tell the truth. I was told they were in perfect working order. The machine shop replaced 3 bent valves and the guides had a lot of play.
Anyway, thanks guys. Im goin FI so I didn't think it matterd much.
