Does appear cheap

Personaly I wouldnt want to be cutting corners with headwork, the dammage that can be caused to your engine by substandard components would lead me to steer clear of "apparent bargains"

They have been trading on eBay for quite a while now. I noticed the advert a while back. They do look good yes, but as mentioned you still need a cam, and that's some good advice from Andy

Not quite as pointless as the endless 'can I make my car faster
without spending money to have the work done properly'.
