From the context of your response to my thread, it seems to me like you are not telling the whole story. I have read coments from over 20 people, and all i have read is good thnings. I would appreciate it if things could be kept civil in this thread, and if you have something to say inform me, dont talk trash.

I also would have done him a new set of heads but he would not wait for us to do him a set.. He stated he was happy with the outcome and a refund would be fine for him and then turns around bad mouths us because we would not give him a set of ported ls6 heads for free. in exchange for his 5.3 heads.
I don't know what else I could have done for you Louis.
No good deed goes unpunished I guess.
I figured as much. Couldn't call BS until you posted.

All your new heads, or just your new 5.3's? I just got the 6.0L heads and they don't have that mark. By the way, the heads look killer!!! Here are some pics of TEA's awesome work. I know there's a lot of pics, but just look at these awesome port work and combustion chamber job. These are stage 3 6.0L heads for a 408cid engine.
