Have any idea on a price for a valve job?
7.3's are notorious valve eaters. Prolly going to be need some valve's/guides, too.
If a guy keeps his eyes peeled, he can find some good deals. I just got a set of rebuilt 7.3 heads for $250
Can't tell for sure, but it looks like somebody went over those heads with a wire wheel.
Curious about the valve dropping situation. Is there a bombproof upgrade to make when redoing the heads or is it just a " hope I stay lucky forever" situation?
Not that I need to know now but who knows someday. I hope not.

Probably worse than that! Looks like the dreaded by machine shops everywhere roloc discs! We had to surface so many heads and blocks because people screwed up the surfaces with those darn discs...
