cylinder head check

Post by tacokiller07 »

hello all, I am a total noob and im having a head checked out for cracks and also warpage. one shop charges 50 for pressure test and they'll do the straightness or warpage check for free, another shop charges 220 for the same service stating they would have to disassemble the head. is it necessary or recommended to disassemble it? or is the second shop charging for work not needed to be done? also is pressure test the best way to go or are there better ways or finding out if its good?
