Very nice - that's a good cylinder head to have.

Regarding the damaged chamber - you can have those fixed. My first set of aluminum heads had a chamber blown away. We heliarc'd more material in, put new valve inserts and guides in, and ground the chamber back down to match the others. I ran those heads forever, until I got the RHS heads I have on the engine now.
