New EQ Head port misalignment?

[HankRearden]

I used a set of these with the magnum intake pattern.
I also used a Chinese magnum intake. The intake ports were a bit smaller than the cylinder head but nothing ridiculous.

For reference, here are some magnum heads with gasket on them

What a mess.
Can you post a picture of the chamber valve seat area? I'm curious if these heads are the same ones that are being used by a lot of other people as their replacement head. I had to remove a lot of floor out of some others and they might be the same head. I used Edelbrock Magnum gaskets.

In relation to the ports, agreed. Or ports are cast into the wrong spot. But potato potato.

But the bolt holes seem to be at the approximately the right height off the deck surface.

Geez, dude. Do you think you're going to argue the bolt holes into the right place? Send um back already.

Already threw them back at FedEx. Just thought I'd document the caparison for any future viewers of this thread.

This is the only picture I took of the valve seat area before I sent them back.

huge lip left in the bowl and a decent ridge in the chamber too.

Also note the casting scab they tried to clean up in the chamber.

Good deal. I HOPE you get it taken care of. What are your plans? Get a refund and try another source for heads or let them send you more? That link you posted seemed to show the heads exactly as yours are, with the holes drilled in the wrong place.

As if they're 2nds.

Most of these cheapo mags are messy and require work, a lot. Speed crapper mags in the picture. Port windows very rough in shape and common wall misalignment.
