another head question.

Allright . I got my heads off my spare motor and took them in to be gone over. One of the heads came back from Mag flux and had a crack betweeen intake and exaust valve. My question is are the heads the same for left and right sides of the engine I recall reading someware that they where interchangable. I am going to pull my heads off the motor in the truck and take them in to find out if i can make a match set. I marked the ones i took off the spare for left and right cause i was not sure. something for every one to look out for is that if the guids are worn that means every thing is worn. the guy that is doing the heads said the valves, guides and seats where wore really bad. the spare engine ran and did not sound to bad either not nearlly as bad as the one in my truck currently. so I am hoping that some one with some grand knowlege out there can tell me if i have a chance in hell of getting at least 2 good heads out of 4 or am i doomed. The truck is just sitting cause I got a couple of other things that need done so this is really no big deal. I am going to put the new heads on the motor in the truck like cdnsarguy had asked why I was not in and older post. I know what I got in the truck now and it does not burn water or oil. just the heads are cooked.

Oh well sory for the book
Thanks
Andy
