Re: [DML] Head assemblies

also have the heads magnifluxed (i think thats the correct spelling and name). this
process will find out if they have small cracks in them before you have them resurfaced
so they wont leak. i had a 300 in line ford 6 cyl head magnifluxed and resurfaced for
$75 10 years ago so i think it should be around $150 a head now for these two processes.
