Hello first time posting please help all advice is welcome, I have a 96 4.0 ranger, about two weeks ago I had removed my cylinder heads, the reason was I loosing rad fluid and had visible smoke from exhaust ,I could see a visible crack on the passenger side between the valves on the #3 cylinder nothing visible on the drivers side, I take them both down to our local napa for advice on cost of repair well as having them tested well come to find out both of the heads was bad and when they quoted me a price I was in shock I said I would search online for a more affordable set in which I found a pair from a place in Florida I don't wanna say the name of the company yet,I called them up told them the year of my truck bla bla simple easy order bought and paid $410.00 shipped took about a week to get here in California I open them up compare the new ones to my old ones everything looks good until I look at the exhaust port the to new ones are different from my older ones the exhaust on my old set is larger oval shaped and the new set are smaller rounded all the bolt hole all line up my question is will this make a difference in performance, hp., smog please help I would like to get my truck on the road by this coming Monday for I have been without a vehicle for three weeks now I don't wanna put the new ones on if all things don't work out and have to mail them all the way back to Florida. thank you all in advance
