You keep bashing on me you know the answers so give it up.... Only reason my situation is still discussed is because of you and brian. You can bash me, tell people the lies, what bob says, what brian says... I really don't care... I know what happened, I know what I was told, I know what I did to make it right... If I sucked that bad would I have been boating every weekend? Nope.... I am not the idiot you really want me to be... You know for a fact that's true..

Fact is the heads were sold as marine ready bolt on and go, FACT is that's not the case ... Me being my own builder should have been advised by Bob to have them taken apart and checked especially not being a builder by trade, that did not happen... I already had heads that were all fresh I was led to think these would be a much better choice... That's not the case...

I think afr is a great head, but next time I will have them sent bare and should them to know exactly what I got. That goes for any brand.
