B-230 cyl heads core'531' sold by 'CCH'

HI THERE!

Has anyone experiences with "Clearwater Cylinder-Heads inc." They have offered normal B-230F`s "530" head include cam/lifters for $ 300. I asked their offer for B-230FT`s "531" head NOT includes cam/lifters, it was $ 275. Then I asked if Ican have it installed larger SS valves,ex: 46/38mm or 48/39mm. They said a $125 extra.
If I have understand it right, they don`t need the old heads themselves. How much is brand new head there in VOLVO? I think that in those prices it is not any reason to repair head self. To 16 valve B-234 head is $ 400 ! Are these VOLVO`s OEM cores? To D 2.4 head,they ask $ 400, don`t sure is it Turbo`s head.
Their warranty is 2 year inside US and one year for export. In here new aftermarket D-24/6cyl. head is 700 Euro`s, NOT included valves,cam and lifters. If someone has more information, I am very grateful.

YRS: WEBERMAN

They DO want the core back, they just don't charge a core charge up front. For $300.00 I wouldn't expect high quality, after all, it only has to last a couple years, and if it does fail it will probably overheat before the driver notices and void the warrantee anyway. Read the warrantee conditions page.

If you install it yourself you void the warrantee.
As they say, you get what you pay for.
