Relax, I would'nt worry too much. Things happen. There are always going to be isolated cases were something bad happens. It is pretty rare often than not. This goes to all manufacturers out there whether it be heads or dishwashers, etc. I would just drive the car and enjoy your new found power. Good luck!

Please dont let my posts scare you. Its true that I am an isolated incident. Many have posted great things about Patriot, and their trouble free results. If people read my posts carefully...they know my real issue.

I sent a pm to Trevor at TSP with the same questions you are asking because i have these heads as well and i was concerned. He sent me a pm and said that he runs the same heads on his car and he has no issues with them and not to worry about the heads. I trust his opinion on this issue. I currently have no issues with my heads. Hope this helps.

Is your motor still apart? Talked with Jason @ TSP, he's doing my pcm and sending 30lb injectors, anyway, Terry should be sending me some new Viton seals to replace the teflon ones, then it's break in time and off to the track.
Moral, if your concerned about the seals, just replace them and don't worry, just drive
