well..I'm surprised to say that Morana has let me down. I recieved a pair of single port heads from him. the drivers side head looks fine. but the passenger side head is another story.. 2 of the 3 combustion chamber walls are gouged and it looks like they were damaged somehow. combustion chamber number 5(middle chamber) looks like it was ground with a die grinder on the side walls.
I immediately called Morana when I opened the box and noticed the defects. In one short sentence he basically told me "oh well"... I asked him if he did this, or if it was damaged in shipping.. I didn't get a straight answer. Then I asked him if I would have possible head gasket problems, and he said "If I thought it would be a problem I wouldn't have sent out the heads". which I believe him, since he seems like a nice guy.
I then ask him if I should get them fixed, he said "I know they are bad heads, but they were all I had to work with". I didn't know what to say after that. Should I take the heads to a local machine shop and see what they say? should I send the heads back and ask for my money back? as of right now, it doesn't seem like morana wants to help me out. Every time I asked him if it would be a problem. he told me to put the heads on the car and don't worry about it. well..I'm sorry but i'm going to worry about it. I don't want to put the heads on, only to have to take them off half and hour later with a blown head gasket from a bad machine job..
Here is a link to 4 pictures of the two problem spots. It links to another forum where the question was asked.
