They were resurfaced less than a year ago but I somehow stripped one of the threads that bolt the head down so I pulled the 3.5 for now and dropped a 3.2 from a parts car and heads from the junkyard in it. But I was a dumbass and didn't go through the new heads and I think the valve seals are bad cause it smokes bad enough to blanket the street lol. so now I am going to put my JDM TII 3.2 in there because it has a lot less miles. She will likely not see a track or a dyno this year 
but the down time will be well worth it in the end.
PS The gasket sealant idea ***Let's not have anyone ever try that it did not work lol***
I did redo it with just the copper spray though and short of the smoking issue that seems to be fine so far.

Thanks I designed and cut them but I didn't do the welding (stating the obvious sorry). The MLS gaskets with just the copper spray still failed once warmed up she smokes like a smoke machine (seeping HG indicator) So for now I will have to go OEM in the gasket department.
