1,092 for the cnc, hydro roller set. I’m sure the cnc job isn’t top of the line but, seems like they will be way better than my unported x heads on my current daily driver. I’m anti China. By the time I had my x heads all made good and re done it’s a no brainer for me. Should pick up at the track a fair amount too. I will trash can everything but maybe the valves...
I have a set of iron SB heads that the machining bill was in the 750 range IIRC with ferrea valves included.
Buy the SM heads, fix the VJ and do some pocket work and they should be OK for around 1K. Not a fan of the chinesium stuff either. If you have the $ to drop on TF, bloomer, etc. go for it.
