Does anyone have a line on a good pair of heads shipped to zip 59808 for this truck. Doesn't hurt to try. CP knows everything.

I'm talking cheap. Don't want to pay the going price.

Where would water get in through the valves?

I don't know for sure, I talked to two machinists about it. One said something about the valves wear in enough that it gets cracks under it. I don't understand for sure what he meant.

It could have been the gaskets, but I just couldn't see the evidence on the gaskets.
