Default My new AFR heads

I just thought I would pass along my AFR experience.I received my Afr heads along with all my other engine parts on Saturday.Being so overwhelmed with all the parts I didn't get to inspect every part.When I got home and went through all my parts, I realized there was something wrong with the heads.It looked like somebody took a grinder to the front of each head(it is deep so a simple polish wont fix it,it needs to be milled).I called my AFR dealer and he said that they only machine them so far so you won't have a problem mounting your accessories.I decided i would call AFR myself to whats really going on.
I called AFR Monday morning and asked to speak with somebody in customer service.I got a customer service rep named Jason and explained my situation.I told him it was going on a high dollar car that needed to look good and these heads just didn't look very good.He replied with we do not care about how they look we build them for racing and power.I said well I have seen other people run your heads and none looked like these.He replied with "well the big block heads and ls1 heads have a different casting".I said that I have seen SBC AFR heads that look better heck I have never seen this poor of work on any head.I said to him so your telling me I'm screwed?He said this "We know its a problem and we are going to address it in the future but not anytime soon"(so they admit the product isn't up to par).He then went on to say that the only thing he could do for me was too have me go to a dealer and trade them! I replied that no dealer is going to trade me a better looking set and he agreed,go figure.So I said so there is nothing your going to do,he replied with there nothing I can do.I told him I wont be running your product then,his reply was okay.
That's my story just wanted to vent.
