I'll ask over here since probably more guys have experience. Ran into a new in the box pair of these that are 18yrs old. The version with std port size but raised intake, the chambers are smallish and heart shaped. Any idea what the chambers should be CC wise? What they were advertised as? anything in particular to inspect on them for flaws. I know some had issues, any help with knowlege would be appreciated

Advertised is 78cc. Mine were ported version, with polished chambers, they checked out to be 84cc.
Check the foundry casting ID. The early "Winters" casting were the poor ones to avoid. There should be a casting date label somewhere on them.
Post a pic of the foundry mark and we can verify good vs bad.

Got pics? - Foundry symbol on top of head - Chamber - Intake & exhaust bowls That would help to narrow down the "vintage" of the heads. If you haven't read this thread from the old Moparts Tech Archives lined from the home page, it's probably worth your time, too.

Thanks guys. I have received a couple pics but oddly enough not one straight down into the top of the heads. I've asked for it but hasn't come over yet. If he avoids that view perhaps there's a reason. They're reasonably priced, but if they're more trouble to correct or make solid enough to be dependable I won't bother. If I can get a look at them or more pics I'll post up. Appreciate the help! As I recall the winters marks I've seen are a snowflake with a "w" in the center is that correct?

IMO, they would have to be priced VERY attractively to be worth messing with them, unless you have the capabilities to do most of the work yourself. Having been one who paid the extra $$$ to straighten out a variety of QC issues, etc., "priced VERY attractively" would mean basically FREE.

Avoid Stage VI heads unless they are free and you can work on them yourself. There are too many better options. I agree, remember seeing a raw set of castings at Summit and they were very rough and unfinished. They are decent after you Finnish them up Porting, machining ETC. Better be close to free IMO too.

The Zeus heads have the word "Zeus" cast right into the head and had the least issues. Someone will have chime in on this...... But as I remember it, the Chapman stage vi's were cast by the Zeus foundry as well, although those were their own casting.

I'm going to look them over in the morning so I'll know more. I'll share my findings. More to follow.
