Had a valve break today on my kxf. Looking at fastheads for replacement. Anybody done business with them? Any other recommendations?

haven't used them myself but are you sure yours is not rebuildable? it doesn't look too bad from the pics. what year ? I have an 09 head that is missing the cam tower that I would let go cheap..are the journals fried on yours?

There is a pretty deep hole right by the spark plug. The cam journals are good. Worried about the valve guide area too. The other three valves are bent pretty bad from that one bouncing around in there. Fortunately it popped in the air and I got the clutch in before landing. This is an 08 I don't think an 09 head will fit.
