Many will say the price of rebuild is nearly the price of new.

You won't know how good the heads are until you remove the valves and have them glass-beaded. Look for cracks in the ports. If you see cracks they are repairable, but for stock heads it would probably be cheaper to buy new ones. Sorry, I don't know of a head shop in NV. Shipping to SoCal isn't that much and you have a wealth of talent there!

I really wish SOMEONE would share their fondness for a MACHINE SHOP in NEVADA that did a GREAT JOB on their DUAL PORT HEAD REBUILD.
I didn't ask for advice on other states.
I didn't ask for advice on component evaluation
I don't want to know about how inexpensive shipping heads is
I WANT A GREAT NEVADA MACHINE SHOP
PLEASE

Pahrump is out there. There's probably some in Vegas, maybe the guys from the Lets Talk Dubs podcast might know.

My post has been as useful as screen doors on a submarine.

No, dog. You asked a question about a machine shop in Nevada that rebuilds heads. Apparently, no one knows the answer to your question. No one, thus far knows that is.

Your question wasn’t out of line. Your demand was.
