wasn't relevant to what I was posting about.

It was deleted , which i find funny. Did the thread about randy garciga get deleted ? Or the other hundred threads of an unhappy customer speaking out in public?

Maybe it somehow violated oso's handbook. Might be time to double check the rules, and restart that thread. Are the people allowed to speak, or is this pre wwii germany?

Gee, let me see, after his first post, the only people that posted were his "buddies". All he seemed to be able to do was hit the like button on their posts. If any of them ever bought anything from Bob, they didn't say so. So their opinions are hearsay at best.

If you have a problem with how OSO runs their site, tell them, not me. We all know who the mods and Admins here are, so ask them.

The way I read the rules on this site, (and most others) the owners of the site make the rules and can do as they see fit. we don't own it, they do. They allow us to play here, but its their playground.

Maybe we should all just let the mods do their job and just stick with the topics.
Had any problems with after market cylinder heads? I think that's what the OP was asking about.

The post you quoted wasn't answering anything you said. Doesn't even mention you.

I answered his question before. no problems. AFR's 50 hrs bolted on out of the box. have run flawless to 6000.

I seem to be learning more about ego's and less about cylinder head as this thread go's down hill.

It sounds like from bobs s mouth to your ear and then here. Shame that one person is putting a wedge between friends and any good discussion here. I'm having some issues, I posted them on another site <sigh >

dan,i am not chasing anyone away,foxwell struck me wrong and said i am trying to discredit him,hell until today i never heard of him.

Honest questions to help this thread get back on track

What's an issue?
In my case we found the issue per AFR own recommendation before installing.

How many hours of run time before refresh is considered satisfactory?
IMO only having 50 or 80 hrs is not a guarantee that an "issue" still may not arise. A tight guide might take a while for the premature wear to become "an issue"

If someone had a failure how confident are we that it was or was not due to the head, the parts installed in the head, or the installer? It's hard to pin point the exact cause unless of coarse an engine builder needs to blame a "part failure" to cover thier reputation.

It could be a great thread to gather info even if we don't all agree. Just need to find some more members willing to post but they are all scared of getting bashed.

And it's common knowledge that you do business with Bob so yes you have an agenda

i have learned quite a bit since i started this thread,one of those things is that not one person has made a claim that any aftermarket cylinder head has had issues.do i do business with bob,yes i do,imo he is a very smart man and his prices are very fair and inline.i will tell you one more time ,i started this thread to gain information about aftermarket cylinder heads,good or bad.if that is a bad agenda,SO BE IT.
