I installed the heads and was breaking in a new motor when I noticed steam coming from the exhaust. I pulled the head and had it pressure checked. The coolant leak was caused by a casting flaw that didn't show up until a couple of heat cycles.
I returned the head to LME. They assembled a replacement head and returned it to me within a few days. I respectfully requested reimbursement for the pressure check, parts and consumables needed to r&r the head. I submitted an itemized list of parts and consumables that totaled around $350 or so, if memory serves. Nothing but crickets from LME.
It's not the money that upset me, it's the principle of the thing. I do all of my own labor, however, if I was paying a shop to pull the blower, replace the head, and reassemble everything I really woild have been pissed. I don't think that asking for help with the parts and consumables was at all out of line.

Don’t blame you for being pissed about that..! The whole friggin reason you buy aftermarket heads instead of ported stockers is so that you have a stronger casting that’s not supposed to have core shift…
I’m glad I haven’t had any issues with my Mast Black Label heads (knocking on wood lol). Their customer service is virtually nonexistent… :(
