i heard a seasoned engine builder say that is a pair of heads have 15K miles on them theres slim chance they are gonna fail after that. He was on beetle crisis bulding an engine in the back garden and he always reused the heads on any engine he was building.

That'll be Laurie Pettit

Id say a pair of cleaned up heads of German origin will be way better cast that brand new Brasilian ones. New reseated valves is all you need.
