I'm building a hilborn injected hemi right now, and I have the same heads  Could the problem be solved, is there a fix without putting them in the dumpster? I have one of Europs best head guy's that I will call, but just wanted to know before I call him. Thanks

man this blows me away that only a couple of guys have spoke up positivly about this! not a good indication of faith! does any of the mp guys on here have anyhting to report? dave
It was nearly impossible to get MP engineering to admit they had a problem and to pull existing parts and fix problems. All aluminum heads that were offered by them (hemi, Stg VI, W5) at one time or another had serious casting problems that took an act of God to make right. Dealing with the people making the decisions through the 90's was incredibly frustrating to say the least.

All you have to do is pop the old seats out and size the new ones correctly. From what I understand is they had a bad run on one of the CNC programs. My understanding is that someone fat fingered the program and moved the decimal point once over to the left on the seat pockets.

I know...I've seen it..so far so good for me. I know what it sounds like when they start so you can bet I'll have those heads off at the first sign. In the mean time....what else can I do? I'm not going to spend another 4K on heads any time soon I can tell you that.

Again if anyone wants to dumpster them, ill give them $100 scrap aluminum value for the heads and pay shipping to me
