Got my heads back from porting...is this ok???

[64physhy]

I just got my heads back from being ported today. I won't say who did it until I get to talk to them first. They are magnum heads, fully ported. They broke through where the valve cover bolt holes are. In one port, the hole is about 3/16" X 1/8", and the rest are pinholes with paper thin metal left. I don't know much about porting heads. I know definitely do not break into any of the water journals, which they did not. Is this normal, or should I be getting in someones a$$ over it? I'll try to get pics up later. Thanks, Dave

well...hopefully...the valve cover bolt will seal the intake port....or jb weld...

it has to be sealed.

The bolt will seal it. Happens all the time.

Use studs for the valve cover and put some good thread sealer on them.

I broke through 2 on mine a little and did what Adam said and used studs and sealed them. No problems at all.
