Aluminum Heads
Will Aluminum Heads warp if engine overheats thats what i have heard but if you use aluminum heads and the engine overheats is the head done or just a myth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

and just like an iron head they could be fixed by having them shaved depending on how badly they are warped. True aluminum warps easier then cast iron but is no reason to not run an aluminum head, its a good reason to have an adaquate cooling system.. but then again so is an iron head.. overheating isnt good for anything.
