so I guess the next question is where can I find some cheap-ish heads? lol..can I get a set for 2-250? thanks!
re: Bent plug tips and misfires
You can get remanufactured heads for around $500. Check out rockauto.com

Glad to help... ZZP also sells remanufactured heads, without a core charge which would probably be cheaper in the end considering you have a cracked head.
re: Bent plug tips and misfires
You should be able to pick up a set of used heads for $150-250 pretty easy, then I would get a valve job done for around $100 and be good to go.

Can you take a pic of the SC pulley?

Sorry...but don't get suckered into this mess.
I'd go to a local junkyard...yank some heads off of ANY SeriesII/III Supercharged car...have the heads reconditioned...and you'd be good to go...and probably save you half...if not more than half of what ZZP wants.

Yup.
Looks about the size of this:

Therefore, looks like a stock 3.8" pulley.

Re: Bent plug tips and misfires
