when I took my '85 head off I knew it was bad, the water jacket had corroded to the combustion chamber, etc.
my choices were:
A)repair/weld head to rebuilt/like new status at local head shop
~$400
B)get used head from great indie shop, $200, get head checked out at same shop...
The trouble with B) is that the shop really wanted my $400. So, they said the second head was bad also.....that is I wanted the shop to pressure test the second head, it failed due to it being warped, which I had trouble seeing.....
You could always take your chances and not get the used head prof. tested, the min. would be the straight edge test over the surface to check for warp and the second would be to clean the head good and look for cracks between the spark plug hole and the valves....I think that is the common area.
C)The sponsors below will gladly sell you a rebuilt head for around $400 as well.
