Got head?

[wicked]

With everything done here it is 1250 +/- 150 core charge. So if you send him a head in good condition it would be 1100.

To be honest he did an awsome job, the ports look very even and all the lines are extremely clean.

I'd be down to have the one I got from you sent to him,but from my past experiances with Nick,I don't think so,I would be trusting it so someone else.
no offense to nick,but he did a awfull job on my block.

Can't be any worse than the block Ehawley got from Mam.

Yeah, what was wrong with them, we would all like to know?

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

Lets just say I had to do Alot more prep work than I should have had to do with the Mam block.
I believe a o-ring slipped out of place on Nicks block.

 

[RyanJayG]

Didn't ryanj do something similar to his pistions?

huh? pistons?

I didn't do anything to any pistons... I dont think anyone else did either, besides BlkZoomZoom's endless scotchbriting on his old block.

as for the head it looks great.

 

[Mr. Win]

i dunno who it was... maybe turf?

 

[TurfBurn]

No I didn't do the tops of my pistons... but corwin I know what you are referring to and remember reading about someone doing it... I thought it was blkzoomzoom but maybe it was flat_black

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

I did it.

I like people to be aware,because I don't want things like that to happen to anyone else.

other then the oil pump O ring,look at my sig,you can see rust spots in the 3 rd cyl.and I had to run a tap down every exterior hole.

he left a bitter taste in my mouth with my experiance with him,I hope he treats others better.
he really is a nice guy,and has shown to do exceptional work,but I guess he neglected to really care about mine.

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

Thats exactly what had to be done with the mam block. That and scraping the silicone out of the oilpump mount holes.

just not right,the Nick,and Beau need to adress these issues.

Beau esspecially,he prides himself on his work,and has allready heard about my issues with Nick,shame.

 

[Spooled]

It seems to me that for that much cash it would be immaculate. Just my humble opinion.

 

[TurfBurn]

not tapping external threads on a block is pretty common/standard, other stuff is much more up to debate.

when I get a engine from a company,I always tap the external holes again,but in this case,it wasn't due to paint,or a bit of rust,the holes were damaged,andsome were rusted beyond usable.I had to tap some a larger size,and use some helicoils.some like the 3 half shaft bolts were stripped out.

I was really displeased with the core he used,I din't send him my core because he informed me he would use a really good core.

I should have send mine to him,it's flawless.

 

[TurfBurn]

Yeah.. that's a WHOLE 'nother story.
