My point exactly. How many valves were seizing up in the guides in the 60s from the factory? Or how many valves weren't even sealing and engines had a dead cylinder from the factory??
"yeah, my '72 Duster had a valve freeze up in the guide is what they said, and only at 10,000 miles. Can you imagine?"
Jim - "Nice 68 Satellite Bob" Bob - "Yeah, I picked her up right off the show room floor today with that bad miss and two dead cylinders. But hey, 14 out of 16 valves sealing ain't too bad"
Give us a break and give us an out of the box, ready to run head that's truly a bolt and go. We work hard for our money and they take a bundle for a set of "ready to run" heads. Give us what we paid for
