Glad to hear that the heads are done and this time with quality components. As for the $1300 cost this time around, considering all those parts and the cost of machining and assembly is an absolute bargain and considering what the outcome could have been, well that price is now cheap insurance. Now for something funny, a guy I know of asked me what I thought of these engines advertised on eBay, turned out to be, that's right, Barnett Performance, so I showed him the "endorsement" of this thread and needless to say, one less sale to him. I keep getting asked to build engines for people again, but really have just had enough of it since getting out of the trade, plus to busy trying to other things, let alone build engines for other people. Bet you're itching at the bit to get your engine back together now and taking it for that first drive. Well everything should be all good now and should be hassle free for you and would right if you decided to give it a decent rev, if you decide too. All the best with it and keep us informed with how it all goes from here on in.
Wow that is so bad stuff they Make! I'm not a fan of products from China!! I hope that company's will learn off all the bad historys off problems with there non control off the production :-( They just want to make as much as possible off Nothing!! And just don't care... Regards Lars DK73
But I am happy to hear that you soon get the engine running B-) Regards Lars DK73
Well Lars, I too am no fan of cheap Chinese crap. The problem with the cheap Chinese stuff is that it is made to a price and not to a quality and those who sell it don't care because they know there's another sucker to buy this stuff all of the time. The other side of it is the people who buy it, now seriously how do expect a part to hold up in a performance application that is less than half the price of a well known brand of performance product, you can't. Then it's the other side of the coin like what's happened here, someone goes to company and buys a product and is expecting quality parts to be put in, the company is a shady guy that puts in cheap Chinese crap in their products and sells them to the customer as quality products going into them, because they know the customer most of the time has know idea of what products are put in there, when it all goes to crap and customer calls him up to say there was a major problem, they turn around with the old over revved (like they tried here) routine and they know that's how they get out of it, then usually try to sweet talk the customer into sending the engine back to them to "try to do them a favour" and rip them off all over again. Personally witnessed this situation too many times over here and can't believe guys like this are still in business.
They just don't kear off what shitt the selling to the costumer
