Recycled heads

Has anyone heard of recycled aluminum used in heads and if so is it stronger weaker or dosent make a difference at all? Kinda wondering.

Dosnt make a difference. Recycled aluminum is melted down, then the impurities and other metals are either skimmed off the top of the melting pot, or they precipitate to the bottom. The result should be the same quality as the original alloy would be.
