Brought my pistons and rods in because the pin clearance was too tight, when I picked them up and got to installing them I realized that some of the cir-clips weren’t seated so I had to pull the pistons I installed back out to check them 🤬. Anyway overlooked that and brought my cylinder heads in for decking and valve job, $1,200 was fine, I asked Tom how much would it cost to install the cams and check follower clearances, he told me “couple hundred bucks” I dropped the cams, followers and caps off, carefully installed them into their original spots to make sure everything was correct, when I went back to pick up the heads “couple hundred bucks” turned into $800, the cams needed polishing so I said whatever and I paid the money. Went back home and a few days later I installed the heads, something told me to check the clearances just to make sure, this is a performance motor and I put a whole lotta money into it. I first realized that none of the cap bolts were torqued, they were a little more than hand tight, almost every valve on the cylinder heads were out of spec, couple thousandths too tight on the exhaust cams, couple thousandths too loose on the intake cams, before I did any of this I texted Tom to ask how the clearance check was done and where did they set the clearances, he never responded, I texted him several times after that with no response, called the shop several times on different days, no answer. Wow, that’s beyond evil, stay far away from this place, I was planning to bring my 5.0 motor in later this summer but I’ll never go anywhere near that place, whatever happened to the honest accountable guys that used to run these businesses?

Never again I wouldn't bring anything to these guys a joke they are 750 bucks and this is what you get back. I could've did this with a flex hone and a few cans of oven cleaner except deck the block and who knows how that was done. Oh and they were bragging about their super fast turn around time even on this garbage it took them a month. Check out their awsome work in the pictures
