Just out of curiosity, did you price compare edelbrock heads new to your recon'd units? Hi, not yet but that may be something I should check into

couple hundred springs $200 new factory springs usually last at least 150,000 couple hundred fer valves $200 new factory valves usually last 200,000 resurface at my local machine shop $140 valve job $200 valve seals $30
Total is under $800 and I don't worry about valve seats, the only time they fall out is if the engine gets very hot and an eddy would do the same thing and they still need checked over by a machine shop first.

That gives everyone a good idea about a factory direct replacement type rebuild. He did ask for better valves though. If he is not putting these on a built motor I think they would be fine right out of the box for his application.

If he is not putting these on a built motor I think they would be fine right out of the box for his application. My next step up would be to find a low mile set of BGE heads then... they have better valves, better aluminum, better flow and still a lot cheaper than eddelbrocks and yes, they clear 5.7 bores. Should be able to buy a pair, inicluding shipping and machine .030 off to keep compression close for round $1100 total.

I torn apart by now at least 100 of these, seen 1 eagle drop seats, probably a dozen pre eagle and every. single. one. of them showed blue, and scuffed cylinders, warped heads, some even have melted plaz tech intakes. They all come from vehicles that also have leaking water pumps or radiators, you would think after building water pumps and radiators for 100 years they would finger out how to make em last longer.

People ought to be watching their temps also. I've not noticed a lot of early water pump failures at work and our cars are idling a lot. Particular years of bad water pumps?
Facts are stubborn things.

Good info...... I am going to get my heads redone with new springs, guides, seals, and hopefully better quality valves with hardened tips if I can figure out who offers them.

[b][/b] I have a 2011 ex police car that my son drives. I put a cam in it last winter and found all the valves beat up. I disassembled the rockers and found that some of the holes in the rocker bodies had worn shut. I replaced all the rocker assemblies and noticed they updated the rocker bodies to have chamfered holes just an FYI. Yes I installed the new rockers and they helped some but the tips of the valves show wear. I just bought a set of SI stainless valves with hardened tips and will get the heads done shortly.

Cylinder heads Apache is 6.4 SRT8 BGE is identical to apache but better metal and comes on truck 6.4 (and I think on latest SRT8s) 6.1head is just called 6.1 head 5.7 03-08 is called the early 5.7 head 09-now 5.7 is called the eagle head
Engines 03-08 5.7 is early 5.7 09-now 5.7 is called eagle 5.7 6.1 is just called a 6.1 BGE is 14-now truck 6.4 SRT8 6.4 is 11-now Car suv 6.4 (Again I think the SRT8 6.4 has now switched to using BGE block and heads somewhere along the way)
