Default JG Engine Dynamics **HEADS** Yay or nay? Heads only!

Yes, I know there are a million posts already that bad mouth JG.

But I have the opportunity to get a JG Pro series head (used) for dirt cheap. Should I jump on it?

Searching the archives seems to sway me in favor of their pro series heads. Actually, I didn't read any problems with them.


So please, who has experience with their heads?

**PLEASE: Don't mention their motor building skills (or lack thereof) or customer service**

Their older work was much better.

If you can find an OLD JG Pro Series head - snag it.

I'm a little weary about there recent stuff, but the older stuff should be okay. I ran a redline series head back a few years ago and loved it. My buddy is now running it and has had no problems.

I would snag it.

The head is probably two years old because the seller has had it in storage.

And obviously I'm not worried about the surface because it was pulled off a working motor.

Snag that **** - It's good stuff

I have one of their old Pro Series heads that I'm getting ready to throw on my project in a couple weeks. . . it made very good power on the last car it was on. (b18a)

Their old vtec heads made great power as well. They have some dyno charts from their old school builds on jgenginedynamics.com

The site sucks, but if you can navigate it - there's quite a few really nice dyno sheets.

If you got the money to get it flowed then do it, ask the seller if he would allow that. Just an idea
