Pro Comp Heads. Experiences?
« on: September 24, 2010, 11:13:12 pm »
Asking about the Patriot series aluminum heads (185cc runners)?

Any experiences here? Good or bad?
There are two tools needed, duct tape and WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD 40.

Pro Comp and Patriot are two different companies and don't have anything to do with eachother.  Gunner(I believe he used to be the president of Patriot) said so.  I don't have any personal experience with them, but I've read that their stuff had some problems a long time ago, but it's much better now.

Here locally more guys use Patriot's over the cheaper Pro Comp's. I am personally going to build an new small block this winter with the Patriot cylinder heads 190 cc Freedom Series.

Oh, my bad.  Either way, the Pro Comp heads have a horrible reputation...except for some recent BBC heads, but you gotta buy them bare then do machine work to them.  I'd consider the real Patriot heads over those you linked to.
