Your guess as good as mine JW, the blasting was done before these were sold to me with no disclosure they were junk. I would have saved the shipping, I got two usable heads out of six, and one of them I sent for nada to our friend Rich Lambert. The other waits for an SWB owner in need: my Porsche Karma could use a booster shot.

Buck. . . IF those heads were 69S the only sound you would be hearing from me would be the zzzt-zzzt-zzzt of tungsten in a shielding box full of argon. . . unfortunately they are 66 normal heads, nailhead valves, whopper 32mm ports and combustion chambers so deep you could comfortably eat one of those mini boxes of Frosted Flakes out of them (which I may do on a dare when my car finally is ready for concours). In short, they are paperweights, conversation pieces, boat anchors.
