I was told from someone in the know that the problems with the Trick flow heads came about when summit bought out the trick flow brand and wanted to start putting them out in greatter numbers and in doing so their quality dropped. It was also explained to me that the way that the valve is angled in order to allow a 2.02 valve with stock pistons puts excess strain on the valve guides and this causes them to fail too, but I never heard anything about it being problems with the valves.
BTW- I just ordered a set of 165cc AFR's from JD's Perfromance in Orlando as part of a group purchase for $1195, but the special is over now- sorry.
