This sounds too good to be true. Hopefully not!

[tim at unrealexpectations.ath.cx (stetson)]

I was browsing the 'tex engine and transmission classifieds and saw a nice
stage 4 hydro head for sale that was looking very nice!

It's here:

another from the same dude is at:
http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1313218

and the pics from the 1st looked very nice so I (foolish builder I am
these days) IM'd him asking if he did solid lifter heads too. He IM'd me
back saying that he did and to email him for details.
Short, but can you blame a man answering an IM on the 'tex?

So I emailed him today (go to the bottom of this post) and asked a few
pertinent questions about the solid possibilities.
Directly below is his answer.

If the delivered product is as nice as the pics, you think it would be a
deal you'd go for? Or I should?

Prices seem really good for no core and shipped included!

This seems to be a start up business since the page:
http://rsctunning.epic4.com/
has changed since I first looked at it a couple of days ago to include
16v, 8v mk3/4, and VR6 heads.

Any far northern Roc brothers or sisters heard anything about this biz?

Hi Tim,

1. Yes. We stock 83-92 head cores and we do not require a core for those.
Price remains as advertised including shipping.

2. The heads are CNC'd to a flowbenched template heads depending on stage.

Stage 2 price is $450USD includes shipping and no core is required.

Stage 3 price is $550USD includes shipping and no core is required.

These include new valve guides pressed in and new valve seals are included.
Valves are turned and polished.
Polished combustion chambers.
Soft resurfacing.

The stage 3 is also gasket matched and has 10% bigger ports.

We take half of the price as deposit and remainder once it is complete.

Pictures are sent to you once the product is complete.

Thank you,

- Sebastian
