Hey guys, I just picked up some afr 165's and they look like they have a few k through them. They have some sort of double spring too. On unpacking, I discovered 2 nicks in the chambers. Looks like uninstall mishaps. I attached a pic.

"Ho hum whatever" or showstoppers?

Could I just deburr the edges and slap em on? Do I need to weld?

Thanks for looking.

Pete

PS, yes, my digi camera is a POS. That literally the best it can do.

I would def at least get an opinion from a machine shop and see what they say, maybe two different shops if possible. From my experience, it is better to spend a few dollars now and fix the problem before you burn up a piston. something to consider, Price of machine work on heads OR Piston/rod/honing/cleaning of block?????? Hmm.... yeah.
 
Will do gentlemen! Thanks for looking at them.

Those 2 cylinders had the valve sealing checked out. Maybe some funny business happened in them. The heads look immaculate otherwise.

I'll have them checked out though...
