OMG I cant believe this head failure????what kind is this???

[gungho]

http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=167969

I saw this and couldn't believe it! Wow,a head failure,what kind were these?My first thought was a different brand,but oh my god,another "expensive"'' brand name failed,I dont believe it!

[kwkracing]

Looks like a casting issue and alot of spring pressure

[bjuice]

i do not know what is so hard to believe...this is High HP racing... CHIT breaks...After all its Just metal anyway you spread it.....thats just part of it......before i could be dis-mayed i would have to know just how many failures these heads have had in this particular area.....otherwise its nothing unusal to see stuff break and come apart.....

My opinion

[gungho]

Bjuice,this is my point exactly,but it takes a seasoned veteran like yourself to see and realize this,thank you for your experienced observation to this.

just to take a quote out of the thread you(gunho) posted.

people associate junk to procomp,this is post #43

[gungho]

ok so CFE/BMF and procomp are the same? so by pointing this out you are saying the CFE and BMF and Canfiels are the same as procomp? p.s. you should save up and paint that thing in your avatar........ :D :lol:
Also why do you concern yourself with other peoples cars when you dont even have one yourself?

[FullTimeRacing]

don't need to save,just don't care

[gungho]

don't need to save,just don't care

But you care how others spend their money? why is that ?hello Pot,this is kettle,can you hear me? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[FullTimeRacing]

go complain on yellow bullet to the guy that posted it dummass.

[ashbros]

Pow, bang, boom gotta love a litttl erock throwing once in a while.

CFE/BMF have had quite a few problems over the last couple of years. There are stories of brand new heads failing on start up due to thin casting areas,

Bottom line, no guarantee with racing parts, chit is going to break sometime or another, If it has not happened to you, consider yourself lucky.

First of all that is my show car not my racecar. So yeah it has to look good to do good in the shows.


Bjuice....

I am not saying that you cant have both. I am just saying that somepeople put more money under the hood than to make the car to look good. Also people put all their money into their engines to not be able to afford the fancy paintjob or even a decent paintjob. It can also be to mess with peoples head to cuz alot of people think that the car runs like it looks.

Ok I cant keep quiet here.

First comment......
I wasnt degrading anybody. All I was saying was that you dont have to have a fancy paintjob to run down the track. If anybody took that as that I was degrading them then Im sorry. Also I dont have any problem sitting in a car that does not have a fancy paintjob and going down the track in it. Every body panel can be a diff color and I wouldnt care. I know how expensive paintjobs are these days due to the fact that I do paint and body. Not everybody can afford them.

Second comment.......
Nobody is perfect in anything they do. Everybody misspells stuff all the time. Just because I dont use spell check or I type faster than what I am thinking of how something is spelt doesnt mean I am a piece of S***.

[gungho]

Dirka, dont be so sensitive, we are one big happy family :lol:

[DirkaDirka]

Well I am usually laid back but when someone insults myself or my intelligence I stand up for myself. I dont back down when someone does that either.

I saw the title of the thread and who started it, and I LOL.

Gungho gets his payback. :D

[chrisr]

Hey gungho, the post I posted the other day was meant as a friendly post. If you had been close to Texas and where going to be at a track close to me I would have wanted to meet up and bullshit and do some racing. As far as mine being a 79 and trying to compare to your 70 Z-28, look again, mine is a 72 not a 79. Sorry you took the post as an insult or however you took it. As far as me thinking my car is the fastest in Texas, not even close but I have alot of fun with it. As far as me needing to move on, nah, I think I will stay right where I am. I doubt with you being in MA. and me in TX. we will ever meet up but never the less, have fun and be safe doing it. OH, and to put my opinion in on the Pro-Comp heads, I have not ran them so I have no personal experience but I do have a buddy who bought the bare casting and said with good components in them they are OK.

we all know how much you like the procomp stuff.

[zipper06]

There are really a lot more Chinese casting out there than people are willing to admit. I don't know who made the casting that started this thread, but not many of the head maufacturers have stepped up to the plate on improving their castings. I mean look at it this way, some people are running well over 300lbs spring pressure and .900 lift, this was unheard of a few yrs. ago, that head looks like it could have been cast with the same cores that a steel head would have been cast with, with steel being 200% or more stonger than alum. Plus alum mat'l cost 3 times more than steel, so they are trying to save money on the casting. Even the Chinese castings would be good if they would simply reduce the core size and build the deck and top side thicker. It's the almighty dollar savings, and hoping that no one will run the high spring pressures and the tall lift cams. If i had my way all the alum heads i run would be solid, but i run alcohol and don't have a cooling problem.

[signsbyesa]

i know that edlebrock has a plant to cast their own heads, but
the metal is coming from china, and thats where the problem
starts, its not as pure as the stuff that you would get from the
now closed pittsburg steel plant that china put out of business 8)

How many Dart heads have you ever heard of pulling the entire top of the head out around the stud??? I've not ever seen one. How about a Brodix?

[Tod74]

I like to keep my stuff neat. BUT taking a turd and putting someone on the trailer that has a high dollar paint job and such would be sorta fun too....like that FARM TRUCK with the dog in the front seat. :D That's just cool. NOT MY choice of a race car but it's still pretty cool.

Technically there isn't any bold face lies in that statement. It takes longer to say all that than it does for it to go down the track, so it would be sitting by the time I got done saying it.

There are really a lot more Chinese casting out there than people are willing to admit. I don't know who made the casting that started this thread, but not many of the head maufacturers have stepped up to the plate on improving their castings. I mean look at it this way, some people are running well over 300lbs spring pressure and .900 lift, this was unheard of a few yrs. ago, that head looks like it could have been cast with the same cores that a steel head would have been cast with, with steel being 200% or more stonger than alum. Plus alum mat'l cost 3 times more than steel, so they are trying to save money on the casting. Even the Chinese castings would be good if they would simply reduce the core size and build the deck and top side thicker. It's the almighty dollar savings, and hoping that no one will run the high spring pressures and the tall lift cams. If i had my way all the alum heads i run would be solid, but i run alcohol and don't have a cooling problem.

How many Dart heads have you ever heard of pulling the entire top of the head out around the stud??? I've not ever seen one. How about a Brodix?

Yeah, and for all we know, it wasn't the casting's fault. Did you see the combustion chamber??? :shock: I'd say there were "other" issues with that motor that far exceeded what was seen.

[MEMRACING62]

BIG ISSUES! :lol:

I would bet there is what's left of the motor the heads were on...

6 pistons/rods, cracked block, no crank. :shock:
