Title: Heads
Post by: LuckyDaze on February 18, 2008, 03:51:24 PM: I pulled apart my engine today to find out that my intake valves have touched the pistons. So I am going to have to have the heads gone through. Who have you guy's used with good results here in the IE? Thanks for the heads up!

My buddy had his head on a 73 Datsun P/U and when he unloaded the clutch it pulled one front wheel off the ground :o

For relatively stock heads I would go to Cylinder Head Technologies in Riverside (951) 684-9334

or

For performance head work I would go to Dougans Machine in Riverside (Pedley) (951) 681-1961
