Overall Assessment

Customers have praised our product for its important role in updating and rebuilding Ford Flathead engines, noting its excellent quality. While the stud kit was reported as poor quality, the overall feedback was largely positive. Customers appreciated the product's practicality and reliable performance, and they’d recommend it to others in need of flathead parts. Some mentioned the casting appears rough and might need sanding or polishing, but acknowledged its great value for the money. Issues were noted regarding spark plug depth and aesthetics, but these did not overshadow the product's merits.

For a rebuild these are nice. The casting is a little rough but I planned on polishing the top of the find anyway. Great for the money.

what would the final compression ratio be using these heads in combination with the 286 ci scat stroker kit in a non relieved block? Can 91 octane be used without issue at this compression ratio? A schnieder 270f, 365 lift cam will also be used with this combination. thanks
