Default AFR 205s a few questions

Well after doing a lot of searching and researching, I decided on the AFR 205s. Need to figure out the cam but leaning toward the 224 228 that seems to work well and provide plenty of low end torque.

Questions:
Anything to worry about where reliability is concerned - valve seals, oil usage, gasket leaks etc.?

Provided I drive it with the proper care, should I expect that the 205s will be as worry free as the stock heads?

Thanks!

Why not just use the AFR 205's with your TR220?

I've been thinking about doing that.

From my tuning since doing the cam and upgrading the cats, it appears that I could use more on the exhaust side, thus the thought about the split.
