In reference to the old 2.9 "new" heads, the castings were the problem. I think they used new castings and re manufacture the old valves from the heads you send in. Not sure if they reuse the old springs or not.I always wonder what's the deal when "new" parts require a core return.
down in the description the manufacturer is listed as Ford Motor Company.
