They were supposed to be sent with hyd roller springs. One set of heads came with solid roller springs though.

Also does a good job covering all the different heads we use, good, bad indifferent. Amazing how many assembled heads purchased ready to be so called bolt on ready are scary. I'd never think about buying heads complete from even the top 3 companies without having gone through them.

See at 8:20 . Lol.

Agree, I was told to buy bare and assemble and machine them to spec, I let Bob talk me otherwise against advice, but I was labeled the idiot lol

I got filled in about how that guy is a complete moron. I then recieved an earful about how great afr's heads are, their manufacturing techniques, and how they are superior to brands like dart, and brodix.

I still stand behind , getting cylinder heads bare, and going thru them. The simple mistake of recieving a set of afr heads as full force tim did, ready to bolt on for a mild hyd roller engine, only to accidently stumble on the fact, they had solid roller springs with over 750lbs or whatever open pressure. We can talk about fancy valve seat cutters, or whatever equipment used, but at the end of the day, something as simple as installing the proper spring, was overlooked.
