Who builds really good heads for our trucks? I'm looking into possible getting JLP ported heads with JLP stage II cams. Anyone got any input?

Thanks Jody,camcojb said:
Is part #1004 a complete head assembly or do I need to purchase other items?
it seems like it is.. they are great people. Great customer service, and good parts especially for the price.
So your saying it comes with valves, lifter, springs, and cams? I guess I should just call them on monday. Thanks guys for your help
Hey, just an experience a friend had with partiot. A valve came up bent somehow, Patriot sent another head, without seeing the problematic one, no questions asked, he just has to send back the bad one.. thats it. Patriot wanted to keep the downtime of the truck to a minimum.
I am using Fox Lake heads and I couldn't be happier.
I have heard form various 10 sec. L owners that have had experience with patriot and the said their complete crap. now the majority of them use the JDM products. No pointing fingers but thats just what many, including Chillfactor, have said.
Also , i was gonna go the Patriot route also but decided not to... There machine work is top notch, but a little to much!!! They machine too much out of the heads where you will actually lose compresion!! Great price for sure!, but think about it... the springs, valves, retainers, guides, with the ported heads including cams?? Makes you wonder what kind of valvetrain there using for that price... Just giving you something to think about!!
Good luck on your choice!!

After looking at the site a little more it doesnt look like the heads come with a valvetrain. I guess I'll find out when I call on Monday.
The president of my local club(HALO) bought the Patriot Stage III heads and they came with all the valvetrain, for that same price!
I have the Partiot stge 3 setup, with patriot cams, right now in my shop going on my new engine..
I have to say that the machinc work is the best i have eve seen, and I rec. the heads in 4 days...
I know they had probs ealy on with oil getting by the stems, but that has since been cured, and I would reccomend these heads to anyone.
Hell, they cnc heads for other retailers even....

check with mark at lfp he has a good deal on cams and patriot heads
Got to call Patriot today. They heads come with everything but the rocker assembly, followers, and cams. According to who I spoke with the stage II heads with cams will cost roughly 1875 shipped. I'll have to contact Mark at LFP and see what he can do for me.

Maybe they port for them, i dont know, but "Patriots" port is different than JDMs!
the diff is that JDM polishes their port job..
But the ports are the same..

Does the polishing make any difference in power? I mean you can't see inside the heads when they're on the engine, so, does the "port and polish" make a difference over the "port" job alone? :shrug:
