I'm jealous! Deer bow starts Oct 1, and I'm hoping it won't still be 90's. We've had something like 20 straight days over 100 and practically no rain.

Anyways, are those prices you gave per head or for a set? How much are new ones?

This is ball park guesstimation on pricing. If just a few valves bad and maybe a new seat and clean up heads and check for crack. The cleaning will tell the story and crack check then you move on. The new heads call tim meyer on the austrailian head. the advantage is the combustion chamber is better compared to the open chamber. you get some extra compression by just installing these heads which means more power and crisper throttle response with the higher compression. good luck and catch you later.
