Another catch22
That's just one case...Mavn and others haven't said anything besides Eric W. being a porter and vendor of..
maybe your just 1 person with bad luck?

One case, yes, BUT the types of defects found are the ones that would be common to all such castings. There is no compensating for a bad alloy of aluminum (maybe ex-beer can stuff...)

When I hear it multiple times I'd refer to it as Fact. Same stuff said about somethings here and I go elsewhere like you know where and it's typical otb stuff used and seen that works perfectly well.

Heads having problems?
(Discontinued) RHS ls7 heads and Factory ls7 heads demand more conversion than even my BS speed pro casting.

Guys talk cylinder heads? Ask yourself this question, does the Cylinder head math Equal up to my engine combination in Math by the CSA/MCSA.
You've done that then do the Math to take the CSA/MCSA to CC in runner size then you've got your CC needed..
cnc can only do what it's programmed to do. You can know the numbers walking in to speak to your choice in Porters..the Math don't lie.. I knew the numbers before hand with Darin. From being given the Basic formula from ER.
Real Porters Hate the use of the term CC as each casting may have a different port length. CSA/MCSA tells the Entire theory of the port work done. Yeah it's simple and crazy that one can know his Own build and it's potential Choke points in the Heads and intake used. Before Hand.

As a T&D maker, I saw some cast aluminum that was just pure junk. You had problems even tapping it with conventional taps. Ive seen some that was so gummy you couldn't use a NPT tap, staggered tooth, or conventional. Never had problems with 6061 billet. Cast is a different story......

Try another One Besides Mavn cause that didn't happen or maybe its a Older thread...since there's many others. Give another example...
Others means more than a few which = 3 or more.

AFR vs A China head ....good example used. Also look at who the post is responding to. Hint: Me
If I see a problem more than a zillion times like the RHS or Factory heads, like I said I'd see it as fact..
I'm still waiting on other Promaxx Failures..

Hell just to prove You wrong maybe I'll ask a few non Bias Porters. Who's cnc isn't just set up for big Name aftermarket heads aka AFR, TFS, Brodix, etc..
I'd bet money some have had more YT Rocker arm issues than that of all these cheap heads and problems in the last 2 yrs...

Reasons you buy the heads as cast to eliminate the BS parts used. Aka: Valves. Springs...if it's assembled don't buy it as you don't know Who or where the valves or springs came from. We are to just use the casting not the parts.

You do you, waste your money on junk if you want. Considering you don't actually use any of these parts nor have a running vehicle to test them on you probably won't, you'll just lead others astray with nonsense remarks rather than real world results.

Do you not know of installing a Bigger stud for a better anchor? Aka I didn't use 8 mm head studs rather 7/16's.
i know Dookie happens and I get it.. but you need Hundreds not just one or two to claim a product is BS.

Only a newbie buys china heads period. I won't ever buy them, and I recommended not buying them, but they were cheap at the time and a lot of other brands were out of stock. Aftermarket springs and valves were used, but the problem was deeper than the parts used with them.

Shaft mount rockers were planned for use with them, but neither brand tested worked with the chyna bolt pattern, yet another limitation of them. Personally having to spend a bunch of money on fancy parts to make cheap heads work makes zero sense to me. They don't even make that much power, basic TFS will do most anyone here just as good for about the same price without all the hassles.
