i have worked in diecast at briggs stratton for 8 years 2 things make alum change colors (cast anyway) 1 is the alum was 2 differnt temps when poured ,die was cooler on the darker one 2 the darker head was wet with something the hoter the die and alum is when poured the shiner/ brighter the part is when it comes out a colder part has a greater chance to have prosity in it as the alum is trying to firm up

unacceptable. they should be identical. processes and methods are refined enough (one would hope) that this would not happen. maybe it won't be an issue. maybe the bruins will win the stanley cup. maybe...
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

I'm going to respectfully disagee with most in this thread. You just paid Indy good money for those heads. Tell them the issue and have them send you a new head - period.
could lead to problems down the road and they are not the easiest to deal with. do it now.

Thats funny right there...
I agree with the above. You spend hard earned money on something they should make it right and do it right away. Indy will find a way to get out of it otheriwse...
Did you ever get in touch with Gritzmacher to do your heads?
