Got some non-cracked magnum heads!
I came across a kid who thought his exhaust leak was a bad rod knock, found out he was wrong after he put another engine in his truck and it did the same thing. I worked a deal with him before he found out the engine was fine, and took it off his hands.
Its a 97 5.2 (318) and was complete from the tb to the pan. I tore it down, no wear on the crank, bearings, cylinders, etc. The only thing I found was some bad lifters. I really want the bottom end out of my way, someone can take it if they want it!
The heads are what I wanted. I stripped them down, cleaned everything, glass-beaded the valve heads, etc. Great guides, not much wear on anything. I have a dry and wet magnaflux at work, and couldn't find a crack anywhere.
The engine has a Chrysler tag riveted on the back of the block, it's been a while since I've looked at it but I am pretty sure it was a factory reman engine.
Anyway. I thought of doing some bowl work and opening up the pinch, maybe some polishing but nothing major. I don't really have the cash to have the guides cut down for more retainer clearance. I did get some good valve seals.
Trying to think of stuff I can sell, are these worth doing the work, resembling them, and selling them? I even have the rockers, etc. All nice. What is the going price for heads like these?
Thanks for any info!
