I have the truck listed above 1500. I’m changing out cylinder heads. The
Cylinder heads I removed was 706 I got a good deal on one new 706 cylinder head. My question is, if I install the new cylinder head is it okay for other head be rebuilt? Will it affect engine performance? Or do I need a new cylinder head for the other side?

Hi,

It should be fine to do this. If you are having the used one rebuilt, there shouldn't be a compression issue.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
