i found a set of used patriot stage 2 heads with 1100 miles on them for 750 shipped. are these heads worth having and should i jump on them?

 

Thats a pretty decent price. Patriot heads have had problems in the past, you just got to ask why he is selling them after only 1100 miles

 

the guy blew his bottom end and is parting car. car was turbo charged

 

sounds good, anyway to have then checked out before you pay? Or is it over the internet?

 

I'd be a little concerned about that buy.

But thats because I'm bitter toward them after all the issues I had with them.

 

the car was still running before he tore it down but had blow by. when he tore it down, he found 2 bad pistons. he said him and 2 other ppl checked them over and found no problems. this guy also has a very good trader feedback.

 

the fact that they are patriot and they were on a motor that blew i would get him down to atleast 650. i know several people that have patriots and hate them.

 

what gains would i get from these? i looked around and couldnt find any solid info.btw, i'll be putting a stage 2 cam in these.

 

I'm not much of a fan of buying used products especially if they were on a car that had the motor blow. I would be very skeptical about everything he says especially if you don't see them ahead of time, good track record or not.

01GT4.6 had Patriot Stage 3 heads and I'm guessing he liked them, but his motor was far from stock.

If they check out I wouldn't see why you shouldn't buy 'em.

 

N/A maybe 10RWHP I remember the first ones I ever tested gave less than 10RWHP. They make the ports too big IMHO and remove the swirl dam with sucks NA. I get more flow from a smaller port on my bench. Boosted they work better, and I have never seen a set that didn't burn oil.
