So the deal is this. The car is being torn down for race use, and I'm revisiting my motor issues (long drama, but its a MMR built motor that currently has ringseal issues and low rpm low oil pressure issues).
One of the side effects (or more likely the cause) of the latter is this:
Now I understand I have a few choices (aside from whatever I do or do not work out with MMR, they're aware of the scoring and felt it wasn't a huge issue to just continue to run this way. I obviously feed different):
1) Replace the Boss 302R heads
2) Line Bore the head, insert bearing (~$1000 once done, no guarantee on true alignment of the bores)
3) bore base of head, shave cam cap, clean its surface (now the geometry has changed slightly, same money as above)
4) Buy some 1k bare castings for Boss 302R heads, move my valves over and other gear.
5) See how long it is until the valvetrain fails (my luck estimates halfway into first race)
+ all have new cams being purchased as well.
Anyone have thoughts on these otherwise expensive doorstops?
