Default Problems With Sean at Eastside "SPRSPT"

I Bought a set of heads from Eastside threw Sean and the heads were misrepresented. I was told they were milled .030. The heads were angle milled .090+ on the exhaust side and .020+ on the intake side. This made intake fitment near impossible. I had to cut plastic and brass stops on intake to make it seal. Also the 2 heads are decked different amounts. And the head is decked crooked from front to back .016. This makes the cc of the head 2 cc different from front to back. Sean keeps saying they were fine how do I know you did not do anything to them. When bought them I changed the springs and bolted them on that's it. Now I have a bent valve because there was a drastic difference in piston to valve on #1 cyl which was checked .150 intake .130 exhaust to #8 cyl which hit the exhaust valve after a high rpm pull 6600 and checked after the problem and had .080 on the exhaust I asked for a return of the head and a refund which they won't deal with us on so now I will make it be know let me know what you think.

Thanks

That's a big difference- .030 to .090 on an angle.

Why would anyone want to do that, port on an angle?

Sean is an upstanding guy.. he should make good if it's an honest mistake (on the part of Keltech.. the machine shop) because they were represented as cut .30 and not on an angle.

Sean, what say you?

edit- Sean beat me to posting.

Thats a bullshit response just because you made them work on the car you guys had running does not mean they were right. You misrepresented the heads said they were decked .030 and they were not thats what im protesting your a crook and misleading.
