Ron is a great guy to deal with. He also can do a final assembly with quality parts in his spotless shop.

The procomp heads have had issues with seats falling out, I personally know someone that tried to use them and they didnt last very long, if they have THEIR valves in them, I would NOT recommend running them in a boat, when they are sold retail for 1000 a pair with valves, springs, retainers, locks etc I picture the cheapeast valves known to man, springs, etc. A guy came by my shop with the carnage from a 632 blueprint racing engines recently, he had a guidelplate that had name "shiloh" on it that was thinner then the cheapeast stock ones i ever seen , not sure what happened but he broke a guide plate, wadded up a pushrod etc, had a 5600 rpm rev limiter, had 3 hrs run time total. I found it hard to beileve theyd use such junk in a 632 BUT, crate engines that are cheap are "price " point built with cheapest garbage their is, Smitty
the guy I know that recently had a procomp bbc head fall apart either broke a valve , stuck a valve or seat came loose, was in first 50 miles on a street car. Valve seat was out of head, valve snapped off, piston broke, cylinder destroyed, typical carnage!
With all this… why try building anything today? Some of it is from junk parts, but if you really spend time digging into issues, you find that a lot of really good parts (read: $$$$) seem to take a dump more than you’d think. Case in point… certain head manufacturers valve seats being easily beat to death in a pair of heads that after upgraded valves/springs/coatings are upwards of $5k a pair. Most will buy/bolt-on and go (because that’s what they’re told to do) and then end up with junk 100 hours/5k miles later.

It’s no wonder then why outboards are winning.
