Default 34 heads made in Canada

Are the aluminum heads for the 34 Ford that were made in Canada any better than the US heads? Anyone ever had problems with the heads leaking? Thanks for any information. Carl

The heads made in Canada would have been made to Ford Spec in the day ,were the problems start is when when copper head gaskets were used they set up a electrolysis action that corrode around the sealing face ,Antifreeze (life ) also needs to be monitored ,heads can be welded and put back into use ,with composite gaskets
