Pricey wisdom.

That's a great suggestion. I never considered the idea of going through an intermediary to buy Dove heads. You paid a bunch to gain that wisdom. Thanks for sharing it.

A local FE builder also claims that Dove heads can have serious porosity issues, but he swears they are the best because, once prepared, they'll win races for you better than anything else.

I have found a trend in the forums and elsewhere which suggests that buying heads from Dove might be best left to folks experienced with the quirks of the company. Still, if a beginner wants performance, they sometimes gotta take chances. Going through an experienced intermediary like Gessford would seem to be the best way for a newcomer to become introduced to Dove's unique racing products for the FE without taking the full riskload on.

JMO,
Shoe.
