Removing block filler from heads
A friend of mine just bought some cast iron heads off of RJ and the ad didn't say that they were filled. Low and behold when he got them they were filled. Is there a way to get the block filler out or is he screwed?

Block Filler In a set of Small Chevy Heads!!!!!!!
Are the heads completely filled??? or just a little bit? Somebody PLEASE EXPLAIN to me what the point of filling the heads would be because I never heard of it and definitely wouldn't try it!!!

sounds like someone used too much block fill...then tried to make money off the mistake....[/quote]
x2 In the most remote possibility that someone was going to use a filled CI head for blown alcohol - maybe. But my guess (I agree with radicalz)somebody did not know what they were doing.
