Pretty good price. But, I'm not advocating that it not be done, just
thought person with burnt valve was trying to get done on least expense. As
far as availability of heads being plentiful, first requirement is that they
be GOOD heads (no cracks, which a lot of them have) & they aren't that easy
to find around here anyway, plus they'll run you $100 or so when you find
them.
