Patriot Performance Heads stage 2
I was just wondering what everyone thought about these heads. I've heard some horror stories about these heads having valve train problems. I'm looking to buy a set of heads for my 2v, but don't want to spend $2000 if I don't have to. If I can buy these heads for $1200 and not have a problem with them I'd do it, but I haven't heard anything good about them. What's every bodies thoughts on them. I know MM&FF did a build up with them and had nothing but good things to say about the heads.

MM&FF also thinks GMS puts out good stuff. Steen has his stuff starting at $1,500, Livernois for $1,400, Fox Lake for $1,500, etc. Spend the extra $2-300 more for peace of mind.

no experience with Patriot, but I've heard of the same failures.
Livernois has a good rep. spend the money, you won't regret it. going cheap on heads is not a good thing to do. there are other things you can skimp on, but not heads |
They had valve guide problems and apparently they have since switched to different company for that. I don't think its something you need to worry about really. But i also think there are better company's with better flowing heads out there.

Well...Lets just say that I orderd some stage 2's from AM...and sent them back. They do have valve guide problems which is kinda a big deal...N20...which brings me onto my second rant...when I orderd them...I called up the very next day (I had orderd after closing hours) I talked to a guy there and he told me that I hadn't orderd them...2 weeks later they're sitting at my door. I had to spend 80 bucks shipping them back because apparently there's a difference between Steve Woertink and Steven Woertink when they're looking up your name. Kind of a joke...but I was still happy that AM took them back...just pissed off about the 80 bucks

i have the patriot heads... and im happy with them.
Not only am i happy with the heads but Gunnar at patriot has fixed anything wrong with my heads at a cheap price... IE i bent a bunch of valves and they reseated the guides and did the valves and everything at cost for me... was way cheap... and S&H was only like 30 for the head... so was so nice they offered me that kind of customer service... |
how did you bend a bunch of valves??

I'd bet they got the rightside(passenger side) cam timing off a tooth, common mistake;) .....oh and to answer some concerns about patirot heads:( there ARE better quality cylinder heads out there:) check wth Steen Racing, Modular Performance, Fox Lake or Renagade:t: |
