And those referencing their awesome 40+ year old stock (non-crack) heads - if your heads are ported to flow anywhere in the neighborhood of a Stealth head, you might not want to be too confident about the no crack thing.
If you were referring to my post, the motor in the pic has the non crack aluminum heads made in America, Edelbrocks...... 
ah, see what i mean! At quick glance I couldn't even tell those were Edelbrocks. Nice work, Big Squeeze 
I keep mentioning it, but I do believe the stock valve covers are the secret. Now, if they would just make some that are a little taller. Did you ever check the clearence with your new 1.6 rockers?

I agree, the painted stock valve covers are a must, and yes the 1.6's clear (or they clearanced themselves!  )
cool! I have some Moroso alum. ones that look just like stock but taller. Unfortunately, they have the Moroso name on them...maybe they would come out with a "no-logo" cover for us if enuff asked about it.

realistically who figures out their build and orders every single thing the same day for your engine? most orders parts and build up the combo! most shops know this! this isnt a warranty issue but more an integrity issue IMO  There was lifter recalls from source also before!

I don't have a stake in this one way or another....I have Eddy heads.
Integrity issue? They are replacing them....sounds like decent Integrity to me. Also...concerning recalls....if they recall them, that's better than just ignoring the problem like many do.
Also...when people buy budget/chinese parts...they are taking chances. That's why the parts are cheaper! Do people buy Harbor freight tools expecting snap-on quality? NOPE! Why do people expect race parts to be any different?
If I buy a tool at harbor freight...if it works once or twice then great...if not, then I still got what I paid for.
just my opinion....
Well said.
