Cylinder Head Crack Still Usable??

@rumblefish360 I was thinking a 3 angle valve job could clean it up and seat wouldnt need replaced. But im not a head expert.‍♂:realcrazy:

@MopaR&D Yeah the heads arent in bad shape. Guides were cut down too. Just looks like someone had an oops moment.

Your machinist should be able to tell if you need new seats or not. I would guess there's still enough seat material to not sink the valves too much with a VJ but I'm not experienced enough to know for sure. BTW smoothing down that ridge where the seat meets the chamber casting will also improve low-lift flow, not necessary but if the seats already need to be cut/ground it might be worth a shot, if you're comfortable doing that kind of thing yourself.
