As most of you know I am in the middle of a rebuild on the DaHoooley
Was gonna do a lot but the $$$$$$$$$ issue caused a change in plans.
Yesterday I started getting the heads clean and ready to go back on.
New seals and such.
Valves and seats looked almost new. No signs of the usual pounding in of the seats etc.
Well it did not take long to find a crack that went onto the fire deck from an exhaust seat (Middle cyl and not an end one)
OK, Game over, gonna have to get heads no matter what.
Just got off the phone with clearwater cyl head.
They are now very up front about the fact that the castings come from China.
OK fine, we all had that figured out anyway.
$300 per head now and a 5 year warranty.
$650 for a set to my door.
Damn, that is an exceptional price for a set of heads that the seller is willing to stand behind for 5 years and unlimited miles.
Makes me feel fairly good about these heads even more than before.
CCH sells these heads on Ebay all the time.
Just a thought if your in need of heads.
These are complete and ready to bolt on.
They do not sell bare heads ( I asked) :(
