I was just about to put my head on when I saw this in the combustion chamber number four.
I am wondering if it will affect it?
I ordered it from Clear Water..
What do you thin I should do?
:notgood:
 
Maybe you could get a fuzzier picture, but if that's missing meat around the valve seat as it looks like, it'd probably cause that seat to fail.
If it's a buildup like some people see, it could just be ground down. Either way, I'd not run it that way.

Unless it's just a picture of Sasquatch. :D
 
Yeah, evenually that cylinder will have poor compression because it will be leaking all the time. Remind me not to go there ever LOL.
 
I dont know if you read my post about a week ago. I bought a head from Clearwater and it had a defective valve spring. I had the head installed for 2 weeks and the valve spring broke into pieces, beaten the hell out of the piston so I am dropping a rebuilt engine now.
 
its definatly just some alum. build up there, as far as i can see. i would give them a call about it though. it can be grinded down though. its up to you, but i would def. call them and tell them what it is. bastards ROFL
 
WTF I dunno where you guys are seeing build up, it sure as hell looks like a missing chunk to me. I mean, you can see the side of the valve in the second pic
 
you run that head better kiss your compression good-bye, the defect does not look normal but that could be too because that pic you took does not look normal either. That should have not been shipped to you. Looks like a valve got in a fight with the piston at some time or another. :talon:
 
Heres some pics of the head I recieved from them after the valve spring broke.

Wow, that made me laugh. - Good luck with getting it done up PROPERLY this time. Sounds like that place is into half-ass work. :notgood:

Please post a review on the Parts review/feedback forum. That way maybe someone else may be saved from having to deal with this kind of crap.
