    how do i tell if i have a cracked head?

    Maybe you should tell them how you tried to port the heads with them still on. Post the pics of your work. Be up front about everything and maybe some one can give you a diagnosis.

    Do i need a pcv valve

    Mostly trackuse and occasional street. It has moroso valve covers with with a oil fill cover on each valve cover. The fill covers seem to be ventilated with a like a filter in the top? The reason i asked about the pcv is because i just blew my rear main. It is a 2 piece and it is leaking pretty bad.
