I was on the bird board and there was a guy asking about engine builders. He was asking about one in particular. I have seen stuff posted about this one but I want to hear from people who actually had a bad experience from them, not just because of allegience to Brad or Jake, I want to hear if someone had a problem with this company and what it was. Here is a link to the their web site below. This is the guy who used to own SIR back in the 80's. They built an engine for me back then that was very strong and very reliable. The guy closed because of the economy and has re-opened on a part time basis. He doesnt have the shop he used to have but he still has the experience he had before. If you have bought an engine from him, and it had a problem, speak up, if you bought an engine from him and are still running it, speak up, if you have niether, then dont say anything bad about the company, I want this to be fair and impartial.

Just a point of clarification that I didn't fully exspress. Dwayne and I went over each componant of the engine I was to recive and a GA case was one item. We were in agreement that 1.8 liter Porsche Heads with big valves was another upgrade. His product at that time was a 2 liter made out of a 1.8 liter.
Jeff and his crew at JCS may have made an error. I don't know. Dwayne is a lot of fun to talk to and I was truely disapointed with the outcome. |
