Most are pure junk... Put them in a lathe with a teflon foot on the bottom of a dial indicator and you'll see what junk really is.... I use them in 2% of my engines, only full race engines wehere every 10/th of 1HP is needed.
I have a decent set i sell in the store for 155.00, they are made in Turkey and are decent quality, BUT they make using my favorite oil pump a true PIA... Stick with helical gears, the TIV doesn't need bullshit to make it work.. I have been fighting with "Performance TIV parts" all week and have logged 70 hours of labor since Monday on the same engine because of bullshit parts- this one has no room for error..... Hell after 70 hours the shortblock isn't even assembled yet!!!!!!!!! (I spent Tuesday and Wednesday doing nothing but measuring) |
