So far I am pretty happy with them. I am still installing everything, with a new cam, so I cannot wait to drive with them! I purchased the IE Plats 200CC with 64 CC. as well, unassembled. Than just purchased the valvtrain kit seperatly, I saved a little by doing that. Either way, you may want to have a machine shop look at them as they may need a little clean up in the ports and bowl area, but very, very minor. heres a pic... Good Luck!

So, what's the damage for a set of those ?

I'm still debating whether to get the Summit iron "fuelie" heads.
The only thing holding me back is the 67cc chamber. I'd like 64.

Heads are probably the biggest performance upgrade you can do to an engine. What type of heads are you looking at? Don't waste your $$ on a set of stock "fuelie" or "camel hump" 2.02 heads - there are too many excellent aftermarket heads that will blow the socks off a set of stock 2.02 heads for less money. You should be looking at something with large valves (2.02), 200cc or less inatke runners, and something that will produce about 9.5 to 10.0 compression with your pistons. The Dart Iron Eagles are outstanding for the money.

Default Something isn't right with that comparision.

The Sportsman II do have a exh crossover but not descriped as so. This may not be important for some but it's very important if emmissons or a hot air choke is needed.

Just my 2 pennys here but i went with the WP Torquer II and the 67cc chambers that measured more like 68-69cc. It was a better match for my block and put c.r. somewhere like 9 - 9.2.

Good luck. cardo0
