If I may ask, what has you contemplating this? What is your goal, and what vehicle and setup would these heads go on? It's probably cheaper to simply have another cam spec'ed for you to make a difference in power. Once you tear the heads down, pay for the hardware, and pay to have the machine work done you could have gotten a better set of heads like a 243. You didn't mention if the heads have been worked before or not.

Just realized that I had two tabs open at the same time and posted into the one that I was searching for 2.02 valves in PRC heads. Oh well, crap happens. That's the only mistake I'll make this year. Maybe. Likely not.
