Frustrated

If I was the OP that head and the other would be turned into Tire Irons.... Been down this road when I was young, dumb, and well you know the rest.... Cut your losses and get a set of Aluminum heads or a set of documented and ready to go Cast Iron heads from someone reputable..... It may or may not be in the budget but fixing what I see is just a disappointment in the future... There have been some nice deals on Cast Iron heads for sale here recently and very reasonable IMO....

Good luck,
JW
