Hi WDZ.....as a long time user of Dove Products I should advise anyone using their heads and intakes to pressure check them as I would with any ANY Aluminum Head or Intake. I recently had an Edelbrock RPM Intake leak after installation...pissed me off...sorry....we have always pressure checked all our heads and intakes before and after port work and valve work...
Edelbrock and Shelby pass the quality test 99% of the time....Dove in past years was at 50%.....but recently the Intake manifolds I'm recieving have really made progress...five in a row now have been perfect......so we need to take the Dove comments and beatings with a grain of salt and understand the nature of the beast....they certainly deserve the negative comments based on history but have always tried to provide those special products for a special market with great success in many cases....I run Dove Heads anf their 2x4 Intake....mine are great....and I will continue to sell the Castings but only after we check them like we would any product...but they have made GREAT improvements in the past six months....
George
