Very similar, if not the same set I had a few years ago. Very heavy. Inside, there were no locating tab for them to sit into the heads like o.e. They would not stay in place. Finally found one had slid down far enough to have a chunck removed by the rocker arm. Immediately went into the trash.

i would just paint yours or powder coat them if you have the tools, saves money and looks nice also.
