Anything sold by "Speedmaster" is supremely questionable in terms of quality. Anything they sell that could cause catastrophic failure should not be used.

Consider giving them a military-style "Flotation test".

If your able to find out what spring pressure there rated for I would back that down by 20% to use them safely.

Only a couple of aluminum brands are worth running. I use the clunky gold ones that have a good reputation but they cost a few more bucks.

The bitterness of high prices wear off much quicker than poor quality does.

i think the guy i got the heads from was using them on a hft cam so probably not alot of spring pressure. i do like the bushed fulcrum vs needle bearings so i wish i could find the name brand version theyre cloning.

i snagged a set of crower aluminum 1.7s off here a few weeks back i plan to run but i need to see what spring pressures theyre good for also
