Subject:AMC Heads

Hey Volks,

It appears that the coolant leak at the head nut on my truck may be a crack,
but it looses so little that I've been driving it no problem and haven't
added coolant for weeks now..but just in case...

I bought a set of low miles AMC heads. The guy said 40K miles or so. Hmmmm.
When I had the heads stripped, 3 exhaust valve seats "going away".

So we pressure tested them, good. But they will need 4 new valves and 4 new
seats and probably guides.

I'm deciding what brand of valves to get. Got recommendations? TRW seem
expensive.
