Inspection of used heads
I found a guy selling an Edelbrock top end - RMP heads, intake, 750 carb and rocker arms for a good price. I am not worried about anything but the heads. What should I look for to feel comfortable that the heads are ok and do not have to be reworked? Are there any obvious things to look for or ask?
Thanks

flip them chamber up and pour solvent in them and see if it leaks through. check for cracks, if the springs are off you can check for bent valves by how freely they move. you can check the valves for side to side movement to see if the guides are worn. check the tip of the valves for wear. thats a start.
