Speedmaster valve quality

[MOPARMAGA]

As for valve quality from China, I'll say not that bad. I haven't been rebuilding and building heads for very long , just about 4 years but I can say I've not seen a failure yet of just a valve.

Same thing bloomer is doing. Buying bare china castings and doing there own porting.

It’s my understanding Bloomer heads began as a “rough” casting so it’s not like you can send him your out of the box Speedmasters and have him put his ports in them.

I never said anything about sending him your own heads

Up there with elgin, decent. Not high end..but fine for street performance or mild track use.

Just clarifying for the readers….. I inquired on one of the head specific threads about this subject, just wasn’t sure.
I actually sent one of my sets of W5s to Ryan J back in the dark ages as he had a cnc port design for them. He had quite the stack of them before he had them cut.

It caint be too bad, can it? That's where probably 90% or more come from and we're not seeing mass failures.

Yeah and I hate to say but if it wasn't for the chinesium stuff 90% of people couldn't afford to get their cars fixed .

That's a fact.

Just a heads up. I ordered the valves and thank you to all who took the time to answer me.
