I took the heads off last weekend and I was astonished to see the condition there in. The valves and cambers and springs looks brand new. Same for the block, you can still see the hone marks. The STD pistons has some carbon build up. I feel kinda guilty to stroke the engine.... it looks like it should go back in a dumptruck and retire as a stroker in 200-300k miles from now (insert smiley face here, lol). How much can I sell the heads for? I would go with aluminum if I decide to stroke.
