I order a 0630 reman head on 1/8/24 and received 5 days later 1/13/24. Installed and returned my core a few days later, $100 refund by 1/26/24. I have about 2K miles on the head since install two months later with no problems. Shipping box was in great shape, for the weight, sent by fedex ground. Reman head had a few decent size chipped areas in the edge of the cast-iron, but did not develop any issues. Valves where ok condition, not a perfect vacuum on intake using a vacuum pump tester, but I installed as is. The whole head comes painted, except head gasket seal, I decided to remove paint from the intake/exhaust gasket seal, which added some time. All in all excellent product for the price and have made recommendations to other XJ owners to consider Allied for a reman head option.
