Brad said the rest of the motors looked fine. He had a compression and leak down test done in 2010 and everything looked good. However, I told him that he was still running the risk of breaking a valve spring so he decided to have the heads pulled. Then Brad convinced him to go 522's!! I think you could go 250 - 300 on heads and then run another 250 -300 before doing the bottom ends. We tease my buddy that his throttles could be replaced with an "ON/OFF" switch so his almost 300 hours were hard hours.
