Re: Looking for a lonely 300 head

Matt,
   I suspect that I could buy another set of heads for the price of 
having a good shop pre-heat and re-surface the chamber, though maybe 
not.  I'll look into it if I've already removed too much material.  I 
think CNC marks aren't deep enough to create hot-spots, but that's just 
a guess.  CNC marks are definitely smaller than the pits I had.
   Thanks for the thoughts.
