I don't understand what the problem is here. The guy is spending his own money to try a set of heads off ebay. It's not anyone else's money nor your time, it's his. So if he's willing to do this then so be it. i'm wanting to see what these heads flow as well. if they dont flow well then it's his problem...he's the one that bought them.
I'm glad someone can grasp it.

My point is crystal clear I have a 4.8 vortec boost I wanted some cheap heads that flow more than my stock 706's. How hard is that understand? Is that too damn hard to believe people are shopping for cheap performance ****? There's a few 1000's companies in the USA importing **** and you just like me are buying it up!
Let's get something clear..... I don't give a DAMN about pro-comp or any other high dollar head company. I'll say it again I'm loyal to my bank account or did you not read that in my previous post. I don't sell **** on feebay/ebay. I make my living breaking my back pulling, pouring and floating concrete in TAMPA/St Pete heat and humidity. Or did you not read that either? I feel every dollar I earn at night.
At the end of the day these head companies and any other business is receiving money NOT giving it away.
And since their not giving away money to customers and people like me. I'm going to spend my money on what I can afford. And if these heads turn out to be a bust then under the band saw they're going. And I'll post pics of the guts.
You didn't chip or contribute any useful information on this so keep quiet and sit on your hands and learn at my expense pumpkin.
Don't let me have to tell you again.

I'm going to have them flowed straight out of the box as they were received.
Then I am going to post that data and graph after the guy gives it to me.
Then I am going to have a 3 angle valve job done on them and the valve's back cut.
Then I am going to flow them again and post that data and graph as well once I get it from the guy.
That way we have both sides of the coin before and after.
And if these heads suck A$$ the guy has agreed cutting one open and looking at the guts of it. And I'll post pics of that as well so we can all benefit from this... one way or another.
I am a team player.

I just wanted to let everyone know.....I did receive the heads around 5pm hauled *** to the machine. And dropped them off made it just in time.
I did manage to take few pics I'll upload them to the desktop and I'll attach them shortly after I wash up and eat.
My initial thoughts with these heads. There is some type of thick yellow film coating them and it stinks. It's almost like baked on "engine honey" or baked on "lucas oil treatment." Some weird ****.. But the heads are brand new.
The guy said when I dropped them off they'll have to be washed first. The guy also said the CNC tool path needs work here and there but overall he said it wasn't bad at all for what I paid.
So tomorrow he is going to wash them first thing in the morning and flow them after they dry. He was leaving for the day or he would have pulled a valve to look at the bowls from the chambers and valve seats. But he'll do that in the morning and give me a call.
I'll keep everyone posted.

Ok so this guy has 700 bucks in the heads, assume 300 for a valve job and a 100 for flowing and inspection. So he basically could have got a budget 243 head from a vendor here and felt confident in what he bought. I already know the results, they're junk! You guys don't seem to grasp there is no way to make a decent head for 700 bucks and make a profit. Do you think the vendors here have a huge margin on cylinder heads? I'll help you out, they don't!
