Best Stock BB Heads?

The old factory stuff gets older every day.
Although I grant you, a lot of it isn’t getting any more worn out with time.
It’s just sitting on a shelf or under a bench somewhere.

However, much of it was pretty well worn out when it was taken out of service.

What I’m getting at is, it’s not that common anymore to find a pristine set of low use factory heads that really only need a valve job before being put back into service.
They often need guides, seats, resurfacing, and a bunch of parts.

Like I said before....... if you can do that stuff yourself...... great.
If you have to pay someone...... it’s going to add up quick........ and it’s surprising how quickly you can end up with a set of “freshened” oe heads that are approaching new head money.

I looked to see what was currently on ebag....... there’s guys selling refurbished oe iron for as much as aftermarket heads.
Well, I say “selling”..... I don’t know what they’re actually getting for them.

Don’t get me wrong....... I love seeing those jobs come in the door....... but I’m very up front with people in letting them know........ it may not be the most budget friendly option for them.
