Default Would you run these ported heads?

Are these worth swapping for $100? They've got some detonation damage to them.

Assuming the piston came apart and the pieces are what did that?

You can find lower mile used heads for $100.00 each sometime cheaper

I wouldn't mess with that, just my opinion, i'm sure someone could grind and polish that out, but again for $100.00 i just wouldn't do it

The combustion chamber damage looks fairly limited and should be able to be repaired. If the heads have had the intake and exhaust runners ported, it may be worth saving. It doesn't look like anyone did any combustion chamber work on the heads as it still has the swirl wall next to the intake valve. Most head porters will remove the wall when doing chamber work.

The intake and the exhaust runner were ported, idk how much it would cost to repair the heads though.

The only way to find out is to take it to a machine shop and get a repair quote.
