Stay away from supertech valve! Ferrea, Skunk2

Supertech will destroy your motor, plain and simple. They're as cheap as they are for a reason, stick with the well knowns ie ferrea, skunk2, or if you have the money bisimoto

Super Tech has high failure rates. Ferrera!

Thanks guys!

Steer away from skunk 2 internals period for boost with maybe cams as an exception.

Crower/Ferrea/Endyn if you like reliable motors.

Yeah i was looking at blox internals but im not 100% sure right now..if any of u guys got sohc parts for sale LMK

must be platform specific on the failure rates then, we have several people runing supertech internal and head parts on the ford duratec/MZR blocks with great success, yet to hear of any failures. few of them pushing 400hp daily including myself, and another pure drag car pushing 700hp on e85

I'm going to have to agree. I've heard good things about them, and I don't like to make judgments about product quality based on Honda parts. It's hard to put any relative value on part quality judgments that come from the 95% of amateur Honda engine builders who do it in their garage. I'm no pro engine builder either, but I've learned to be very careful about which advice I listen to, and the context in which the parts have been used.

There are obviously higher priced parts out there, which often means those parts are higher quality, but it's really hard to say "those parts suck, they're cheap for a reason" without some type of comparison. If the cheap valve works well, what are you actually gaining by using a much more expensive valve?

I just want people to think about things carefully before they make decisions.
