    New heads - opinion

    wats up everybody, i had been reading about plugs blowing it and it finally happend to me. I was able to just replace the plug but im scared it can happen any time again. wat would be my best route - buy new heads with 8 threads on it? (if i do buy new heads can i put back my original valves/cams) buy ported heads? any other option?

    thanks guys!!

    welcome to the site!!

    I can't really answer your question (someone else will come along soon) but what year HD do you have? An 02 or early 03? Good luck!

    I have heard that you can get plug inserts for them. You can either go that route, or Big Bill may be able to hook you up with a good deal on new heads. Do a search on NLOC for more info on the inserts.

    New heads with 8 threads would be the safest route. Inserts usually work, but you cannot be 100% sure of that. Can't be 100% sure about anything though!!!!

    Well...if this thing had happened to my truck,I would definitely do the "right thing" and replace the whole head,unless I had to get it done real quick to have the truck running,and the "right thing" would be on the "to do" list
