Would you run these in your engine?

"No, I would not use any of those in an engine. Are you kidding? Asking for trouble with those cracks, plus valve angles and back-cuts all over the place. Disturbing."

"Good to avoid fragments of metal in the combustion chamber. It does not lead to a happy ending. This is not a theory. Ask me how I know."


"Those would have been junk if FEs hadn't gained so much popularity. I wouldn't trust anything that guy says, he apparently knows nothing about heat expansion...everytime the rockers hit those hot valves they'd split a little more. I would be surprised if they weren't cracked enough already to grab that sweet little bronze liner and stuff it into the port.....just enough to cause the valve to hang open some...maybe enough to touch a piston. What a butt wipe."

"Looks like they ground the valves with a Dremel!"

"The valvesaren't bad for used heads---they are not up to my standards for high performance/racing, but niether are your choice of stock ancient heads."


"are you kidding ?
Those are perfect.....
.....for weight stack pins
good riddance !!!!!!"

"dlotz, unless there are some extenuating circumstances, you got sold crap and then had sunshine blown up your booty. If this person is treating a forum member like this then I say; out him. Let us know so we don't fall down the same open well."

dlotz, it seems everyone agreed with you until Keith outed himself.

Then they regrouped and surrounded "their guy".

Come on guys, the facts speak for themselves. Buyer thought he was buying something "better" than he actually got. Seller was completely confident his merchandise would perform to the buyer's expectations. Miscommunication!
Seller tried to "make it right" but, in his defense, there was nothing "wrong" with the heads as delivered. They just weren't up to the buyer's expectations.

At that point it probably should have ended in a return/refund, but it didn't. Now it's being aired on several forums so no one is happy. Upon reading 2 of the forums, I have no negative feelings towards Keith. I also have none for dlotz. Both are right.

Time to end the pissing match.

Anyone know if a throwout bearing should have constant force applied to it by a hydraulic slave cylinder?

Shiny object!
