Default Who is it that sells prepared heads for swap along with a head gasket set?

My Disco II seems to have developed a super small compression leak between the combustion chamber and the outside world (evidenced by a perceptible hiss-hiss-hiss-hiss in cadence with the compression stroke), and I don't know/ trust any machine shops near me.

I read about someone who will sell you a set of ready to install heads with a HG set, and you send him back your old reusable heads, but for the life of me I can't find the post.

Can anyone offer up his info? Thanks!

Are you sure its not the manifold leaking or the catalytic converter flange is bad. or even the secondary air if you have it.

Fairly certain. When I turned off the engine I heard the compressed air leak out of the cylinder. I don't have SAI, and exhaust manifold leaks are a much different sound.

I suppose it's time I update my location, huh?

I live in NYC. Boulder, CO... that's a hell of a round trip.
