It's hard to believe no one has reviewed these guys yet. Very professional and detailed company it was a pleasure doing business with you. The answered the phone every time I called or answered every email in a timely manner! I will definitely use them for all my cylinder head needs moving forward. Thank again!
Part came in and work as a champ. Price was better than all other places I look for the set. Will recommended to all my soldiers and/or buddies if they need cylinder heads replace. Thank you guys.
Parts arrived as promised. Ported heads gave me that low end torque and high rev HP I was looking for! ...if only I did the cam at the same time.
Best prices and customer service on Duramax LML heads out there. Shipped fast and very cool about how long it took to get the cores back.

Additional Info
New GM Mercruiser Marine Industrial Forklift 2.5L 3.0L OHV Iron Cylinder Head – Small Port | 14096620
Optimize your engine’s torque and fuel efficiency with this high-nickel, small-port iron cylinder head, specifically engineered for consistent performance in harsh environments.
This is a brand-new, heavy-duty iron cylinder head designed for GM 2.5L and 3.0L OHV engines. Featuring a Small Port design to enhance low-end torque and fuel economy, this head is cast with a higher nickel content for maximum strength and superior resistance to saltwater corrosion—ideal for Mercruiser marine applications and heavy-duty industrial forklifts.
🛠️ In-House Machining Process
- Debris-Free Preparation: Every new casting is chemically cleaned and blown out to remove all residual machining oils and manufacturing debris. This ensures your engine’s oiling system remains uncontaminated from the first start-up.
- In-House Precision Machining: Unlike “shelf-stock” heads, we perform all final machine work in-house. This includes final guide sizing and precision valve seat cutting to ensure perfect geometry and clearances before the head reaches the assembly bench.
- Pressure & Integrity Testing: To go beyond the factory standard, we pressure-test every head to 60 PSI. This verifies that the casting is free of porosity leaks or internal defects that could compromise the cooling system under load.
- Dimensional Inspection: Our technicians perform a multi-point inspection of the gasket-sealing surface and bore alignment. This ensures the head is perfectly flat and meets tight OEM tolerances for a flawless fit.
- Professional Assembly & Setup: Valvetrain components are installed and verified in a clean-room environment. We check spring heights and seal seating to ensure the assembly is balanced and ready for consistent industrial or marine operation.
- Vacuum-Seal Verification: Every intake and exhaust port is Vacuum Tested. This guarantees a 100% airtight seal between the valves and seats, ensuring maximum compression and peak performance right out of the box.
