Anyone bought or using one of the import aftermarket heads that folks are selling on EBAY and other places? You can buy these things complete with valves for around $500.00, just wondering if they are any count? My truck has an upgraded fuel plate but that's about it, 30 PSI boost.

Thanks Mike

 

imo i wouldn't, that cheap i would be worried about cheap casting causing issues down the road. probably not true flat. and more than likely has a lot of casting defects! i would stay away.
kinda like a china turbo, some people get lucky and run them for a long time and others break them and end up spending more in repairs than it would have been to buy a good known turbo in the first place.

 

Oh yeah, they have a 5 year warranty

 

but how many times in 5 years do you want to swap a head? oriely has a lifetime waranty on there starters, alternators things like that but after i swapped 4 starters in a year i finally gave up. if you want to go with it its your truck, i wouldn't use it on mine though.

 

OK I bought one the aftermarket heads, be here tomorrow. I got it from Clearwater Cylinder Head. The person I talk to there said he has sold a bunch of them and never had any returned. I will take some pics of it when it gets here and give an evaluation of it.
