i took the head from my 86 900S (220,000 km's on it) to my machinist, it needed all 8 new exhaust valve guides, and 6 out of 8 intake valves were NOT sealing. also had 3 thou warpage, enough to cause a HG leak i guess, and needed 4 helicoils for the intake manifold bolts which had rusted so badly the threads were barely visible and one broke on the way out..
total cost was $560 Cdn. the head is now in pris-TEEN condition, but i paid for it!!!
gonna put it on an SPG some day so it needs to be in good shape...
anyway, my point is that a head that looks like it could be ok to slap back on probably needs a ton of work to last much longer.
