ok i went last night and hung out with chris (the guy doing my heads) and he said they are the older style like mangled said but where thinking someone had tried to fill in those gaps before. but im going to take the other head off as well and he is going to check both of them out for me and if needed do another valve job, he said he can do up to a 7 angle job but gonna see what he has to work with first, and mill them a bit more.
but im still needing some new head gskets, he recomends felpro mls or cometic mls gaskets, he said he dont know how gm style mls holds up to nitrous so idk still lol..

I agree wit all different angles but at the same time it's been running good as it is so im leaning a little more towards putting heads back on as well... We shall see i guess
