Why are you wanting to buy replacement heads. what is wrong with yours?
Why not just send yours to a machine shop and have them re-worked, it is a lot less expensive that way.

Well, I'm about 100 miles one way from the nearest real engine machine shop and I would have to go there twice, to drop off and pick up. Plus I don't know what kind of work they do, they may be hacks?

Another thing one of my heads has an insert in one of the plug holes, so really don't want to use that head. I figured I would just get a set shipped that's already done.

Also, I'm kinda leery of machine shops in general and was hoping to get a set from a shop that is familiar with rover heads and has a good reputation. I've read stories of small shops milling off too much of the surface and screwing up heads. Just want a good set that's been surfaced and not milled to death, new seals, seats ground, pressure tested and all without having to worry about if they were done right.

I sent you a PM about my mechanic in CA, he specializes in Rovers. He has a set ready to go, $350 with no core charge. Call or email him.
