"See hear is the faults perpetuation of bullcrap..... start right off saying you don't know much about them and then go on to say how they're going to lose a valve in a couple of years... Solely because the fact that they're Chinese LOL."


See how people get confused so easily? I knew nothing about the heads...my comments about dropping valve seats was a generic one...though from years of experience I know that is one area where aluminum heads fail if they are not done right. And porosity is another issue. Poor valve material is another.

My standard guess is anytime there is a cheaper product, it's Chinese. I don't even know where Edelbrock makes their heads....I assume it's the USA but I could be wrong. I'll tell you one thing....if the Edelbrocks are USA I'd buy them over a Chinese product regardless of all else.

America is a funny place...if you insult the average American's football team, he's ready to kick your ***. But take sides with our country's single biggest enemy? Perfectly OK if it saves you 7%. But I've been saying that for over 30 years and it never seems to do any good. I just look forward to the day my grandkids rush in the door and tell with great excitement that they were chosen to wash Mr. Wu's Cadillac for the entire week.
So your standard guess is the Chinese make an inferior product? No way possible the Chinese could make a better product? We're not talking 7% here we're talking like a hundred and ten or 120% cheaper... $799 for one head with bad casting as apposed to 700 for two heads with a superior casting... You can work out the percentage on that... my car is running just fine with the Chinese heads... But hands down my favorite is the Chinese air conditioning LOL....
