    Resurfacing Cylinder Head or Not To

    I would install heads in matched pairs only. Either purchase another NOS head or find another used head to go with your good one. If you resurface your old one and install the NOS one you are running slightly uneven compression ratio one each side. Even the way the valves set in the seats may be...
