New SCJ head problems?

So I finally saved up a little to buy some heads for my truck and ordered aluminum super cobra jet heads, the description never said bare head, picture showed valves/springs.

Well I got them delivered last night about 5:30 pm (on a Friday) anyways as soon as I opened the box up I realized I had a problem. No valves/springs. So far I've noticed 16 problems with the way these are built and I'm not a very particular person. Take a look and see if you think this is a good idea or not.

This is the rocker arm bolt hole with a flashlight in the intake runner



More pics to come Internet is slow today here

So use sealant when installing studs.

Ummmmm
Those little holes are weird. Sure didn't pass any type of inspection that's for sure.

As far as the ad goes, it's deceiving because it doesn't say bare head, but the pic shows complete, but price is super cheap, and nowhere does it give valve bind or specs of the valves other than size.

Call them up and get a return label.
