706 castech head crack question i am throwing together a budget 5.3 and have two sets of 706 castech heads. If my memory is right, one is from 06 and one is from a 05.
Is the crack issue something that happens right away or am I at risk even with heads that don't show signs of water at the bolt holes?
id rather use the heads I have but I'm going to be annoyed if I put work into a set of time bombs.
Thanks

Gotcha. I went thru the same thoughts until I researched and found were not.
I wouldnt risk risk it personally on something that was going to be performance oriented but If it was my beater I would if I had nothing else.
where are you located? I have 2 sets of 862's? I would be willing get rid of a set if interested.

i guess ill run what i have. worst case i have four tries to get two right.
i would consider a set of 243s but i havent found any for enough of a deal to justify it this time around.
