Holy oil sludge batman!

J- Definately bring your heads to a machine shop to have them resurfaced and tanked (cleaned). Will be like having brand new heads (pratically).

I'd recommend ONLY S&H Machine in Fartuna for local places.

Regardless, the water lines from the VF39 will NOT fit the 20G and vice versa.

No need to really "check" out S&H in Fartuna honestly. Just make sure to bring your heads there if you are going to be having the work done locally. there really is NO other option in Humboldt. Remember I say this from personal experience with 3 different motors. S&H was the only place that did any decent work.

Just make sure you are specific with what you tell them to do. Since you arent changing any hardware out all you have to tell them to do is pressure test, resurface and tank the heads. Shouldn't cost much more than $60-$100 per head.
