Should I buy these heads?
He's asking $450. How much should i expect for a machine shop to clean them up? Where is a good shop to take them in the PDX area?

I'm on a budget so, i can't afford to buy brand new ones...I'm on a business trip so this guy is close by.
So what things should I look for? Cracks, and chips right?
Any info would help. Thanks in advance.

its not some amazing deal you cant pass up, so if you dont have the money i would probably pass for now..
id hold off for a good deal on a stg 1 prc ls6 head.. you can find them from time to time on here for around $750-$800..
expect around a 20rwhp gains with unported and around 40-45rwhp gains ported..
worth another $300-$400 bucks to me..

OP- I have one gasket if you are interested.. would be cheaper than buying both..
It is brand new, never set on a car.
How much you looking to spend?

$500, then i'd have to spend a bit more to get em cleaned up...[/QUOTE]
I would definitely be thinking about spending a little bit more and just get a good clean set of used low mileage ported heads. I have seen some go as low as $700 bucks.
Just giving you some ideas.

The guy with the 853s doesn't have a flow sheet.
If I were to buy used heads, I'd want to see them in person before I buy...
If anyone can find me 243's in the bay area (where I am for the next week) or in the NW after sept 4th, it would be much appreciated. It would have to be ASAP before I spend the money I got!!!

Sit on it and wait to find a deal, don't jump on the first set you find that an "ok" deal.
