 Re: IM Heads VS SETX Heads
Can't vouch for IM heads, but do yourselves a favor and at least talk to SETX. You will not be disappointed! IMO they're the only way to go...

 Re: IM Heads VS SETX Heads
Iron Mountain is by far the worst!!
Calen's Engine Service, Hoyt at GatorTail or SETX Perf. can all fix you up.
Whatever you do, stay away from Iron Mountain.

 Re: IM Heads VS SETX Heads
Whats the turn around time if you send them to Cody?
I tried to contact him this week, sounds like he's pretty busy.

 Re: IM Heads VS SETX Heads
Zack- also weigh all the input you recieve. For example in the posts above I believe the people that did these were recommended. These are neither of the ones you asked about. Good luck with your decision.

 Re: IM Heads VS SETX Heads
That's how my heads from gator- tail looked. If I had it to do over again, I would have sent them to Cody at setx performance.

 Re: IM Heads VS SETX Heads
I think most people who spend $500-$600 dollars on a set of performance heads care more about reliability and actual performance than cosmetic cuteness.
I for one can't find it within myself to allow someone to spend $500+ dollars on a set of heads, that he'll again have to remove, send off for valve work (resulting in costing hundreds of dollars more) after only 10 hours runtime.
Yes, BPS heads may be the prettiest, but all of the others will outlast and outperform those from BPS any day!!
Again, Hoyt, Calen or SETX can fix you up with custom decked, ported, and polished heads (specific to your application) that are seasoned guaranteeing you HUNDREDS of hours of hard use whereas the Iron Mountain heads will need to be re-worked after only 10-20 hours.
But hey, they're pretty under the valve covers..

 Re: IM Heads VS SETX Heads
If you spend that kind of money & you're not satisfied with the product, you should contact them & tell them before you get on the www & bash em. Just sayin

 Re: IM Heads VS SETX Heads
I don't really care because I don't own the boat or motor anymore. I could care less what anybody thinks, just giving my opinion!!

 IM Heads VS SETX Heads
Do a leakdown test.
Check your hull for dents as well.

 Re: IM Heads VS SETX Heads
You can loose that much on a worn prop as well...How long is your prop from tip to tip? Does it still have a cup to it?
