    You may get by easy on this one.

    Get the thing on the stand and rip the heads off.

    A fresh set of AMG heads would be sweet...but the aftermarket ones will get you going if you are on a budget....

    I would not recommend rebuilt heads on these engines.

    I have used the Clearwater heads with good luck as well as the AMG heads
    A fresh set of Felpro head bolts and head gaskets and you're set.

    I am very interested in seeing what you find when you get that head off.

    I don't see any issues with the head. I think I'm going to lap a new valve in, new gaskets, reassemble, compression test to confirm, then send it
