yes and yes, also the intake threads. pull the heads and put inserts in all the threads. don't trust the edeldork locations either mine were off up to .025.
i had to skim the heads on the intake surface also to get them square to the dowel holes. what a pain, next set of heads will be blue thunder or pond.
our machine shop can fix them up for you if you don't have anyone to do it.
