Called KC, but he is out of town at the moment. Tony there said they have had porosity problems with Shelby heads in the past and Keith has elected not to use them as they couldn't seem to get it resolved with the company.

Are others aware of similar problems with Shelby heads? What are thoughts on repair vs replace? I know the pin hole can be easily fixed, but am wondering if there is any way to test and assure the overall integrity of the head to keep this from happening again?

Thanks!
