well im relieved (and so is my wallet) i said F it after going to see the heads. Too many discrepancies that i didn't want to have to fix or worry about. So im going to sell of the heads like i am selling the cams (except actually be honest about the condition they are in- unlike the person who sold them to me). I actually think im going to come out in the black comparative to how much i paid for them. But for now im still in the hole with them. So the alternative to these heads is a sure fire solution:
Allied Motor Parts out of georgia:
# completely disassembled to be cleaned and baked free of pollutants.
# They are then pressure tested to assure there are no cracks present that cannot be detected by the eye.
# New Valve Guides are installed.
# The head is resurfaced with a Poly Crystalline Diamond to 25-35 ra (roughness average) which far exceeds OE specifications.
# Each unit is near completion with a triple angle valve job for maximum performance.
# Each head is individually assembled by an ASE certified cylinder head technician.
# When complete, a final quality control check is done to ensure nothing but the finest products.
# He also gave me a 1 year unlimited millage no questions asked warranty on them
And he's installing my beehive springs on them for free, on top of me getting them for a helluva deal since i didn't want the cams on them. Dirk's a good guy. I think i actually feel good about putting these on my car, ha!
you can see the Poly Crystalline surfacing here:

congrats man! Good to hear that things are still working out for ya.
Looks like u had a lot of drama pop up since the last time I checked this thread. Glad to see its finally working out...Cant wait to see the results....BTW, when u coming up here to NorCal???
so you're stepping up to oversized valves?
no, just the chrome-olly steel 3axis ground ones
So much for a cheap build
why wouldnt you just go with oversized valves?
not slower than it is now
Your not even that slow for npi. Good luck with everything, I just bought LTs and a few other goodies!
yeah, thanks. I'm hoping to shave off .98 seconds off my best time ever with these mods + slicks. I'd love to but LT's on, omg. Wish i could
Yeah CA sux for that, but the mid west sux for the cold ass weather we're having
