Mr. Hag down at his shop sees about 3 or 4 engines a month with bad heads that were supposedly replaced with new by everything from mom-pop shops the stealershits where they were charged for new, but got some local re-worked POS that didn't last 200k miles.

He has one a couple weeks ago that came in from another shop that was supposedly replaced with a brand new head, and even the customer of that shop was charged for it and it said it on the paperwork. -- The DATE STAMP WAS FROM 2004~!. It was even 4 years OLDER than the engine itself!. -- AND THE HEAD WAS SLAP WORN DOWN TO THE BONE, VALVE SEATS SO HIGH THE ROCKERS WERE RIDING THE CAMS!. -- It obviously was a junk-yard head off an old engine that someone tried to re-work.

Here is a pic from it ...

It seems to be a regular problem with shops ripping people off and skimping on parts and workmanship these days. It is sad to see. Not only does this cause problems with the valve train, but it also causes combustion and compression problems too.
