My home inspection of Speedmaster heads

j par said

I don't know the person you mentioned. They're probably a great Machinist..
I know the Machine Shop close to my house said they have junk valve seats and valve guides and that would be $800 to fix... Then at that point I guess I would want a new valve job as well. Might as well get new Springs retainers and all that as well.. what the hell at that time I might as well have them ported... Damn it I should have just got the truck flows..
Damn it you're right! All the gurus are right I'll never be happy unless I spend 3k on some heads...

You know him, be goes by PRH on here.

This is a silly argument, there's no comparison between Trick Flow and these heads, but the price difference is big enough that a lot of people, including myself, were willing to try them out.

But, there has to be a reason for the large price difference, and that probably comes in the quality of the parts or workmanship.

Just looking at mine last night i noticed that the rockers they sell won't clear the springs without a correction kit, all of the exhaust bolt holes are packed with chips, and the guide supports have some chips on them where the cnc work was done.

There's no shame in saving money, but they warrant a deeper look than a set of $2400 trick flows.
