I know its been a long time since you made this video and I do hope that you get this comment. I just bought a pair of those heads but have not bolted them on yet. For 1 I still need a few more things before I am ready to put it in my truck and 2 I have seen that the valve job can be less than perfect on these heads. My machine shop flat out refused to take the valves out and check the valve seat runout I will seek another shop to do just that. My question is are you still running the e tec 200s? If not, why? Also, the condition of your previous bearings is most likely caused by that oil filter adapter you are using. that adapter was is cause of bearing failure in 99% of these engines. I use a standard oil filter adapter and a short oil filter to clear my front drive shaft.
I am still using the heads. got 70k on them now with 0 problems. Just got to make sure you got the right valve springs for a roller cam if that is what you got. I got a 66hp gain over the cast heads and I love them. I did put the standard oil filter adapter on because the bearing did fail.
@@toddvrooman3872 Thank you so much for the reply. I got the heads for roller cam, don't know if that was an option when you got yours or not. I did take mine out of town to get them checked out and get the ports cleaned up a bit but I am glad to hear that you have had no issues and are still up and running. Thanks again for the reply.

How do you like these heads in retrospect? Im building a Procharged 383 for Cobra kit car. Been looking at these heads. Thanks.
I am very happy with these heads. 60hp gain is what I ended up with. Great flow.
Whats you cam spec?
