You should talk to him, EB. If I remember that statement is in relation to his heads, he and many other builder perfer the Argintinian (sp? country in S America) cause their castings are thicker and better for porting due to less likely to bust into the water jacket.

For some reason i want to say the parts he had were from new zealand or australia. When i rebuilt my 22re with his parts i was curious bout the manu and for some reason those two countries were what i remembered. It didnt sound that odd to me because that is in a heavy Toyota import area.
