That would be one way to put it, lol, yes.
This is a V8, so it's "heads" (two of them)
I had originally taken them apart, and one of the exhaust valves broke off in the guide. Not good.
I decided to just replace them.
To get them fixed, it would cost me about $300-400 ... a new set of aluminum heads (cheap eBay ones) should cost me just under $700.
