I've seen a few of them leak. One van I purchased had hose clamps holding the ends on....I also find myself in need of a set since I stupidly left them laying in the long grass at 2am and ran them over with the mover the next day. I had to remove some head studs late one night to rescue a friend driving our "new" Westy home from Scott.....At least the van made it here with the new heads! Good thing for overnight air freight.
