How Are These Heads ???
I found these on Ebay. They look like no name brand. Are they any good.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BIG-B...QQcmdZViewItem
I blew a head gasket and ruined a head . They were stock Merc. magnum heads with inconel valves. The valves have less than 50 Hrs on them. I want to buy a bear head and re use the valves.
I dont know enough about heads to know what to look for. They are going on a 468 ci, with 8.9 : 1 pistons. and a 177 blower with a intercoller .
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

"no name" brand would make me a little nervous. If it were me I'd call the seller and ask who the manufacturer is. And get some details, so these guys here can offer advice. Good luck!!

If they are Pro-Comp (many times advertised to sound like Pro-Toplines) stay away. Chinese copycat's that are sold thru E-Bay. Liberty and others starting to sell as 'house brands.'
Most will say they are made in Australia, but that's a lie. Why would you buy something that is being lied about by the manufacturer or distributor ?
Do any red flags pop up from the price ?
Reason why this **** is on E-Bay and not at your Pro-Shop. Okay,Pro Shop that cares.
