Identify OEM vs Aftermarket Heads

[DJRodriguez88]

Is it possible to identify an OEM head? I'm shopping around for replacements as mine is cracked, and I just want to make sure that if I find something advertised as "OEM" that I can verify that it isn't some aftermarket casting with low quality components.

No such thing as an Aftermarket head. There may be aftermarket components, but not a single NON-OEM head out there for Stock Style replacement.

Get a rebuilt head from a reputable seller like Yota1 in California, or International Cylinder Head in Grand Prairie, TX.
