Just got junk heads from ford.

weekendwarriorfsw32 · Jun 15, 2013

Well as the title says I got junk 6.0 reman heads thats were so warped it was a joke. My question is that Ford doesn't offer brand new heads for some un godly retared reason only reman. Does International still make new heads tho for the 6.0's? Any one have a part number for international?

Odessa cylinder heads is where I get mine. They offer new heads at a real reasonable price and pay shipping both ways.

Ford has a 12mo/12k warranty on parts correct??

At least three people I know got ***ed by Clearwater Cylinder Heads this year. Buyer beware.

So does any one know if we can use International heads? Same thing right?

Yeah after seeing a "new casting" of Odessa Cylinder Heads a buddy put on his truck, NO THANKS. I think he made it like 300 miles before blowing gaskets again. Took the heads off, they look like the surface had never been machined at all. They were really willing to help until they learned he was in Alaska and didn't want to pay freight. He took his factory Ford heads to the machine shop to get fixed going forward. Not the first time I've read/heard this happening either.

Yep. Shack got bent over on that deal. And the fact they left him high and dry afterwards sealed it for me.

Wow glad to hear that haven't done anything with them on the past 6 months but the few times I've used them they have been great.

I have also had issues with Clearwater/Odessa cylinder heads. Buyer beware!! I just buy core heads and have my local machine shop take care of them for me.

Everytime I venture away from ford I always end up regretting it. A customer purchased odessa heads and we put them on. First time he towed with them it puked like no other.

One time I used victor reinz inj o rings a customer supplied. Only time ive had a failure on an injector I re oringed.

So I just got another set back from the machinist and guess what there warped. Both are off 5 thousands. Is that to much to machine or am I good getting those surfaced? No one makes aftermarket billet heads for a 6.0 yet do they?

Talk to John, he is a good standup guy and the last deal I did with him was no problem and fast.

Your safe to have those surfaced. Make sure the flux them too to make sure there are no hairlines in them.

Even though they're both out .005", there is no way to tell if you can even machine them or not without knowing the thickness of the head. Obviously you want them flat, but if the head itself is already too thin there's nothing you can do. If there is enough meat available there, then yes, go ahead and have them decked. I'd recommend pressure checking and magnaflux too to check for cracks.
