I used a cardboard box and slapped a "fragile" sticker on it. You could also
"double box" them.
Ron turned mine around in about 7 or 10 days.
Best thing I ever did!

Also can anyone comment on what you used to send the heads in? Is everyone
making custom wood crates to send their heads off to RAM? From my
experiences this crate better be pretty beefy as everything my local
delivery guys get there hands on they manage to some how damage.

I agree with putting a check for 100% in the box with the heads. I was in a
hurry to get mine back and there was some last minute confusion about
sending the second half of the payment in and waiting for the check to clear
before returning the heads. Easier to just send it all in.
I rolled my heads in cardboard and made slits for the bolts to go thru, then
used extra shipping foam peanuts around that in a bigger box. It ended up
plenty sturdy. With all the boxes and shipping foam that I get from
airplane parts I could open up a shipping business.

Don,
To tell you the truth, I did not compare the holes on old vs new!!
The new head gaskets do have a very small bead of what looks like a sealing
compound on one side??
Bill
Bill, what is the difference in his gaskets? Are the holes any different?
Some are blocked on the stock gaskets. don

I too used a cardboard box which I lined with foam. The heads are amazingly
light (~ 10 pounds each)so it does not take an elaborate packing crate.

Also can anyone comment on what you used to send the heads in?
