Boil and pressure test heads?
I picked up a set of 243 heads low mileage and where said to be pulled in running condition but for a added insurance I was thinking of having them boiled and pressure tested. It's been at least ten years since I did a head swap and boil and test was common practice then is it still the better way to go now? And would anyone recommend changing the valve stem seals before install?

With the boil I meant to have put in a bath and clean any oil and carbon build up as for pressure test it was something I did maybe ten yrs ago and they pressure ck the ports to make sure there's no cracks or problems but like I said that was a long time ago I don't even know if they do that now.
