So, a few months ago I picked up a pair of refurbished Vortec heads from eBay for just over $400. Took em to a machine shop to have the valve guides machined down. I was having trouble reassembling it, valves didn't actually seem to line up. I took em to a shop and they told me the guides were machined incorrectly somehow (not sure how that happens, I gotta learn more about machining)
Well, Friday I get a call, and apparently the heads were cracked, so they got pinned, but th crack continued to propagate. I can't return them because I had them machined
Next time I'm gonna magnaflux them myself before I go through this.
I also think I'm just gonna get a crate motor now.
