I planned to do a pi swap on my 96 gt two weeks ago, but ran into a BIG problem. I was given a free set of 02 PI heads a month ago. The motor they cam off had about 90K on it. Long story short, I had a buddy take the heads to a reputable machine shop for me, and when they were tested, there were cracks in them. Obviously I am not going to be using these anymore, but if I hadn't had them looked over, I would not have found the cracks and that would have lead to bigger problems.
For anyone doing this with used heads, make sure you take them to a reputable machine shop first. I know some people who haven't, but I consider it a lesson learned, and now I will just save some more money and buy new heads.
By the way, does anyone know the best place to order new heads from that has the best price?
