X HEADS

If I bought a set of SM on sale landed to most Canucks door is $2k. Should I start boohooing hoping for a handout or should I use the X heads I've got??
Oh ya and deal with the accessory alignment bs??
Hmmm hard decision...handout or use what I got?
In my case, I can do a good bit of cylinder head work right here at home, so unless something is BAD wrong with one, all my stuff gets iron heads. There's nothing WRONG with iron heads, they can simply approach aluminum castings pretty quick if you're not careful.
