no input?

what if I took my 862 head off my 4.8 and put it on the 6.0, how much compression would I make? considering that nothing else is wrong with it?

You don't really see too many burnt valves these days with fuel injection and all. If it does have a burn valve, you can replace the valve and have a machine shop fix/re-machine the seat and it's good as new.

It would raise the comp a fair bit but I believe they have smaller valve too.

would it not be worth it unless I have them cut for bigger valves?
