The two Alloy heads are different. The one Moss sells is from SC it  
has a single piece of steel inserted into the head with two valve  
seats cut into it. The DW head has two separate valve seats installed  
into the head. As for the port work I have not seen the SC head but  
the DW head has had extensive port work and the large mass in the  
ports that is blocking the air flow has been removed. They increase  
performance a lot they also help cooling, reduce weight, as well as  
decrease run on.

We have installed many alloy heads and have lots of good responses to  
them. As well as since most cast heads have or will crack and the  
repairs to these heads usually fails then the alloy head is the best  
answer.

The leaking head gasket problem will happen no matter what until you  
install a multi piece steel head gasket with hardened studs.
