quik you must not have read my post right! as far as integrity issue as being the head is a bad casting and needed to be exchanged and not some "its outta 45 day warranty deal" and not exchanging it 
Sorry about that Sledgie.... 
I agree with you....
I think Brandon was just trying to make sure that everyone knew he is still taking care of it 2 years later...when some MFG's would just say "Sorry, your out of the warranty period".

I think Brandon can through again and satisfied another customer that had a problem. My only issue is I have two brand new sets sitting here from the first batch. Before I buy new springs, retainers, keepers, and invest my time porting them are they from the bad batch also. I would rather eat the loss than to port and sell them to someone. What was the affected time period and has the issue been resolved? 
Good question...

Basic question is..
What is the warranty?
If the components are new and unused, they should be exchanged by the vendor if there is a known, confirmed defect. Then the vendor in turn goes back to the prime source factory for either $ compensation or inventory changeover for good, quality products. Also the vendor should have in place a purchase supply agreement with the source factory which includes a warranty policy...
Just my $0.02...

Not a fair comparation. If You guys want to pay 3000 for a USA crank it's ok. I'm personally happy with my Chinese crank(SCAT) that cost me $800 on my small block. One customer over has a 500 stoker from 440s that was biuld in 2007. We are going to freshen it up this year but I was still running strong.
You are correct..
The proper way is to judge the differences in $..
If the lower cost product meets all of the expectations & performance requirements, then all is well..
We have known Brandon for several years and know many local SoCal Mopar guys running his stuff..
Yes...
@ times problems have arose and in the majority of cases, Brandon has stepped up to settle the issue. Major damage is done when the problem gets amplified/expanded on an internet thread. It is best to address it before it goes that far...
Just my $0.02...

There seem to be different levels of quality from China, as well. I see the SCAT cranks have about the best reputation, then, Ohio Cranks, K1, and on down the line. Many people think Eagle stuff is great, too, but I dont know. Brandon's stuff is probably as good or better than most of them...plus he is "Mopar Only" and thats extra credit for him, imho.
