Cylinder Heads International?

Does anybody have any experience with Cylinder Heads International? I'm considering buying a cylinder head from them off Ebay. They say their parts have a 12 month warranty....but if something fails and I have to spend $$ to have the part swapped out, then the warranty won't be worth much.

Any opinions, or recommendations of alternatives? I'm near San Jose, CA, something local would be a plus.

Thanks.

Labor Day weekend I installed 2 of their heads on a 3VZE 1995 'runner, along with Flamethrower injectors, new FP damper and regulator, plugs, cap, rotor, etc.

310,000 miles on this beast and she is running like practically new. Had a little CEL battle (71 - EGR) turned out to be the vac switching valve, bypassed it and no more CEL, just have to warm it up a couple minutes or it drives like crap.

Didn't see 3VZ heads on engnbldr, I did buy gaskets and head bolts from Ted. Thirds on them for sure, Ted gave me good parts and good advice

I'll vouch for CHI, a smooth transaction and a good product, I want to see if I can get 500K out of this old 'Runner!
