The stuff thats coming out of Clearwater cyl head are nice heads.

I Have used them and the price is good and the quality of the stuff seems fine.

Fritolay buys these thing by the pallet load for the rebuilds they do on their chip truck engines.
The word from one of their people is that they have had Zero failures with any of the stuff coming from Clearwater.

Clearwater also offers a fully machined block too that looks great.

I have seen two of these up close and personal, clean looking and the machining is very nice.

One fellow here got one to build on, had some issues with oiling.

Turned out that the main oil feed gallery was plugged with crap that had not been cleaned out after final machining.

As far as I am concerned that is not a black mark against the manufacture. The final checks, cleaning and assembly are the responsibility of the one who is building the engine.


I would buy another set of CCH heads in a flash. My 94 burb had 50K on them when I sold it a while back and the folks that bought it are running the wheels off it.

Just my 2 cents worth
