Let's also hope that these "ported 195cc LT1" heads are not really LT4 heads, or you'll need an LT4 intake.

Edit: Just looked at the casting numbers and they're LT1's.

 

What a shame...

 

Those look nothing like my AI200's. I wouldn't be supprised if you made more power with stock heads than those heads. Like others have said if you haven't paid yet back out now, it's better to get some negative feedback than throw $700 down the drain. The rusty valves should have been a dead give away. And the 2 ports look nothing like eachother in the pictures... I could have done better portwork with a dremel.

 

http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...ayphotohostingI found the auction where he got them and I don't think they are the same heads as he sold me. here is the link

 

its a direct cut and paste on the description but the pics are nothing alike. different guide plates, different springs, etc. Just ask him why they are different and call him out on it.
Either that or contact straightline and ask if they put a mark on their heads when they do work(common) and have him send a picture of the mark. That way worst case you just need to upgrade some hardware on them.

 

My geuss is he tried to port his, screwed up, then bought those and is now selling his under the guise that they are the other ones. Don't pay!

 

I sent a message to the guy from straightline performance INC, I sent 3 messages to the a**hole Greendragon1995 and am waiting for answers. It just makes me sooooooooo mad, I had to take out a loan for this sh*t. Oh well I guess time will tell, I should have just waited until I could afford AI's or LE's. I can stop the mail and have it returned to me I called the post office and asked. I gotta do that tomorrow.

 

You bought heads that you had to take a loan out for? Thats a terrible idea! Those heads are junk, although the ports do look about as consistant as Speed Demon's LE ported heads.

 

yeah stop your payment,those look like some big block heads I did with a dremel once, I threw them away.It would be better to get dogged on on ebay than screwed out of your money,just save what you have and be patient and get some good heads from a reputable dealer or individual

 

The seller is an idiot - and you can cancel your bid with no repercussions because he lied in the listing...ie: he did not magnaflux the heads because you CANNOT magnaflux a non-ferrous metal.

Secondly that is not a port job - cartridge roll or stone to make things look smooth - I would be willing to bet that he actually hurt flow and those will make less power than a pair of virgin stock heads.

 

This is the way out of this auction

 

I don't even think those guideplates are for use with the LT1

 

You took the words right out of my mouth. Those springs, retainers and keepers look stone stock. They even have the dried up oil discoloration, lol!

 

damn - you thought your wife was pissed before - wait 'til she sees this thread - the retainers look funky - I don't think they are stock, they look like they may have the wrong locks on them - ?

 

I went to the post office this morning and filled out a form to stop the delivery of the money order and I called the bank who issued it and stopped payment on the money order. This guy won't return any of my messages( he's a looser) so hopefully the only thing lost here is a little embarrassment for being this dumb to begin with. If I would have had more time to think before the auction ended I would'nt have bid. lesson learned. I guess i'm anxtious to do something with the motor and getting tired of waiting for funds to do it. Now if I can figure out a way to avoid a feedback issue on my wife's feedback score( 100%) she won't be mad at me anymore.
