Yes that is what happened, I measured twice, 2 different tools, I have a normal wear on valves and had wrong springs in one set, I think all around there was multiple issues causing my failure, Bob stood up and helped me out to get me on water, that means a ton, I am sure if afr insists the head was fine and makes Bob pay he can either pay them for all the issues to me or contact me and see what we can do, Bob offered to take care of it for my troubles and I thought that was very cool of him, there was miscommunication and multiple people paid the price I already have 2500 into fixing it and Bob felt it was fair to a take a role in helping. If that decision changes I am sure Bob would contact me and we work it out.

Now if we could get rid the the troublemakers (I mean ICDEDPPL) plus a few that want to be the "know it alls" that constantly discredit the professionals in the business we can get some of the real professionals to come back and post without be called names.

Awesome of you to come by and show interest.
A quick suggestion that I loved to see on some other cyl heads being shipped, a small tag wired to each head showing what spring was installed and how. Obviously won't help consumer if seats/guides/ not correct, however, for those bolting on heads (which many customers do) without pulling apart and double checking everything, they will know they got sent the right spring package. Is a great quality control item for the manufacturer and customer.

Thats a good suggestion SB. I think AFR is a great company. I know Tony Mamo would post on a bunch of sites answering any questions or issues with their heads, which is/was really cool. I like how when I emailed AFR directly regarding the purchase of their heads, they made sure to mention the valve guide clearance thing in their response to me. Alot of companies will not/do not, provide that information to you right off the bat. Not only does it protect them ,but the consumer as well.

if it costs bob full price he won't lose in the long run. he already has a pretty damn good rep here and other places. this sure won't make it worse...

Maybe if you got your head out your ass and got a sense of humor there wouldnt be a problem. Don`t even get me started why I don`t like bob and have issues with him.(trust me I`m not the only one) I see you why you two are best buds for life same no sense of humor either of you.
