Re: aluminum heads
Denny, Canfield has the quality control UP THERE! I've seen the shop, and without devulging info I'm not supposed to, they are actually "finishing" castings from other companies. BIG companies, some of which were already mentioned in this thread.
No coincidence that the TFS heads look similar to Canfield's. There's actually a law suit over that. I don't want to get into a bunch of "he said she said" BS here, but just to let you know that there ARE issues between those 2 companies. Nuff said on that. I would LOVE to send you these Canfields I have so you can check them out. Top notch the whole way around. The ONLY bitch I have, is keeping exhaust gaskets on them, cuz the ports are so ******* huge, that there is literally almost NO gasket between the port and the header bolt hole. On the rest of this thread, regarding Pro-Comp/RHS. Stay away from the China Jap crap. When they were "down under" I heard good things. ALOT of good things, and the Austrailian/New Zealand Ford boys are still making some good things down there!!! I did some research, and 82GT is absolutely 100% on the ball. When it went to China/Taiwan/Japan/Riceland, the quality went STRAIGHT down! Think about it this way. In order for me to buy a set of Canfield heads, I have to spend 120 hours at work. My job's NOT easy. Those Pro-Comps? Have to spend 80 hours at work. If I spend TWO WEEKS at work, for these heads, and they DON'T perform, and the company doesn't help me out, I'm gonna be PISSED! USA ALL THE WAY! Stick with the proven companies, it's YOUR money, spend it ONCE, and spend it wisely!
