OMFG wasnt expecting the call from the machine shop today saying "well we cleaned the heads and well your not gonna belive it but". yes what am i not gonna belive "They are both cracked all the way to the combustion chamber". SON OF A......... bought those heads 2 years ago so i cant even go after the person who sold them to me
