Even if it makes you stay slow/stock for a while kuz I did what you're doing spending all this money on iron heads and "cheap" setups I ended up throwing thousands away doing this.

You shouldn't need to hot tank those heads. As for milling them, check them with a strait edge to see if they are warped. If not, just clean them up with a red scotch brite and some sanding rolls to clean up the ports. As for installing valve springs I'm sure you can rent the tool from autozone. <br /><br />You're really better off buying a new set of aluminum heads for 1k instead of dropping money on these at a machine shop. However, doing the above yourself wouldn't cost you much (maybe $20), some time and elbow grease. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
