south west shops?
Well here the deal...i ended up going to a performance shop in naples,when i took a tour of his shop and talked to him he seemed reputable and knew what he was talking about.He had all the toys and assured me that he knew what he was doing.Come to find out i had broken a rocker arm (they are HS 1.7) some my nerves were put at ease.I needed to replace rocker and have a valve adjusted plus misc like valve cover gaskets, tune up oil and fuel.8 1/2 weeks later and no progress done on the car i finally told him the car is done by Friday (tomorrow) or i send a tow truck and get my money back from the bank...I pick it up tomorrow as all work is finished.This has to have been the WORST experience i have ever had dealing with a so called business.
I really wish there were more LS shops in the area,i was going to take it to the shop that built my motor but he had never got back with me for some reason...Hes the only one i really trust working on my car and i see why now.

My wife picked up my car while i was at work today and she barely made it home,the car was dying at idle and the guy said it was missing a cylinder due to the tune that was on it previously or the spark plugs and wires which he never got to and that were provided with the car 8 1/2 weeks ago!!
The only thing that was done to the car was the broken rocker arm that was replaced, i have the old one and there is a big chunk missing thats probably in my oil pan...GREAT!!.I have a bill stating that he replaced both valve cover gaskets even though they were untouched,a tune up which was never done,a valve adjustment that im sure wasn't done but not sure how to check that,and a lifter repair which i also know wasn't done.another great thing is that when my car was dropped of it had less than an eighth of a tank of gas that had to be bad after sitting for that long and it was never filled up or changed...wow
Ill be getting back like 2300 bucks from this asshol& and hopefully i can get it fixed somewhere ....Words can not describe how pissed off i am at the moment

I was just thinking unless you have the hs adjustable rockers he can't perform a valve adjustment and you have to remove the heads for lifters if he doesent have time for plugs I don't see time for engine disassembly.

Verdad Gallardo When my wife asked him about the spark plugs and wires he said he would need a couple of days to get them on...HUH,a couple days for plugs and wires???

HS builds quality parts, but even quality items sometimes fail. You want to look at how the valvetrain is set as well.
I highly recommend Scorpion 1.7 roller rockers- we sell a buttload of them. They are not cast like some others. They are CNC machined from of a solid piece of bar stock- I have personally stood in their facility while they cut a set- it was cool.
Pm coming
