I havent experienced anything with patriot at all (dont have any of their products) , but iv heard a lot of poor quality issues. again i have no personal issues with them but iv heard about other people that have...use the search feature on a couple forums and you should find some info on the heads ( or hope someone else posts about em)

Run from Patriot....they have had major issues with the valve guides...you get what you pay for as usual.
They were supposed to have gotten the problen fixed but just last week another guy posted up that he had the same issue with a recent set.
Do a search on Stangnet or Corral or Mod Depot and you will see how many unsatisfied Patriot customers their are. It is ashame because the owner Gunther is a nice guy. But $1400 is alot of coin.

yeah they are not all bad and i know a few guys on another forum who got lucky but i have seen no less then 30 people post up problems and its always the same issue so i would never take that chance and would never suggest them to anyone.

steer the **** clear. there are too many other great places to get them from. or just buy a good used set and have a reputable local shop do the head work.
