To those of you running aluminum heads, and drive you car daily or more often then just on the weekends, I pose this question to you.

Have you had any issues, like overheating, blowing out spark plugs, leaks, head gaskets etc.

I am thinking about getting a new long block for my car, as all my piston rings are bad(compression below specs.) and depending on the money available I might get aluminum heads. However, I also need to keep somewhat of a budget as both the AODE and rear-end will need to modified as well.

All opinions/advice welcome/needed, thanks.

Good to hear. I am sure they will be fine, but you can never be to sure. I don't want to invest a bunch of money and get problems in return.
