Effective Immediatly

All TEA heads coming out of our shop will be serial numbered and have our TEA Logo CNCed on the Exhaust side of the head. We are also adding the invoice number on the heads. This way if you sell your heads and they want to know what all we did we can look it up. If they want to know flow numbers etc we can look it up. In the end it is going to be better for the end user to insure they are getting the quality product they paid for. If it is our head it will carry our logo.
We are also in the process of changing our dealer program. If we do not do all of the work on the head that ieffects flow (IE. cnc work,blending the valve job and the valve job) the dealer will not be able to advertise it as TEA heads.
We will still do private party CNC work,but it will be just that, the work will not carry our name or our logo and will not be advertised as such.
Thanks Brent

We are also going to add the numbers already stamped on the head onto the work order.

sounds like a great business decision, though i'd move the logo from the exhaust face to the side like AFR does. plus when you pop the hood everyone can see the TEA logo

Thanks, We have located it where it needs to be to be readable without interfering with the exhaust gasket. IMO Patriot has had lots of problems that we have not had. We think things through and test products before releasing them.

To move it to the end of the head was a choice but the current location is visable while the heads are on the car. Also some people do not want the ported heads to stand out

I have some pictures at work of some of the latest heads we have done. I will post them up later.

Normally I would agree with this; I prefer to keep my engine bay as stock looking as possible. But after seeing an LS1 with the AFR logo stamped on the ends changed my mind. It just looks badass.
