drew, listen, your making this waaaaaaaay harder than it needs to be.

after years of thinking i need to do everything myself. well if i can buy the heads already done, it's a no brainer... buy the friggen nicely done heads. DUH!

honestly, it matters only to you. i've banged many steelhead on dinged up dented heads.
