If it's rebuildable, take it to a machine shop and have them clean up the seats.

Or use engnbldr's oversized valves...

Or buy a new head from eBay...

Or buy a new head from engnbldr...

Really, a new or rebuilt head is a better option than a pick-n-pull special as you don't know all the variables a head has been through, and hence why it may be at pick-n-pull.

Just my .02 after rebuilding my engine these past couple months.

heat warp is not repairable...is it??
checked ebay is nippon anything special or crap parts but it looks like thats the way to go for my budget thanks for helping out a noob

Here is another outfit that has helped me in the past www.aluminumheads.com

I think i paid $350 at TAP in sacramento 3 years ago....Oh ya $300 core charge

why is it unusable? if it's warped and still has enough meat, (have a mchine shop look at it) you can have it surfaced, and it's good as new.

wow if you would ever be in KS i would just give ya an old one
