Phil and Ron were great to me. Way before the sale and after it as well.

Sorry OP is not happy and it didn't work out the way he planned.

Heads came in today!

Ordered heads from vengeance racing on the 13th. Powder metal guides installed and upgraded springs. 2 weeks:





Everything ended up good. Great guys over there at Vengeance, I look forward to doing more business with them. Thanks Ryan!

You can lock the thread if you wish.

Thanks.

Keep the heads bagged up until ready for a final clean prior to inspection and/or assembly. Laying them on the carpet is not good for cleanliness.

Carpet is nothing, half the heads I see for sale are laying face down on concrete

I agree with Phil, better withdraw to greener pastures.

x2. There's more truth to this statement then I think many on here care to openly admit. Nothing against the OP as it sounds like he just got alittle too impatient, but this place seems to be loaded with a number of people who do fall into this category; one reason I've never cared to venture into the off-topic sections in the almost 9yrs since I've been here. Maybe it's just the nature of alot of car guys nowdays. Then again when a majority of customers are only able to put a partial deposit on a ~$1500-2000 set of cylinder heads instead of the full amount, you know they're stretching their budget thin and it becomes a breeding ground for these types of instances to develop. I've noticed this with just about every niche shop in this business. Hell, one of the best Ford engine builders in the U.S. gets 90% of his business via financing.


I too had to wait for my AI heads, but it was well worth it, and Phil always addressed my (hair-splitting) questions directly. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again.

couldn't have said it better myself.....ive had nothing but good luck with phil and ron, can it take some time for one off machine work and cams? yes.....but rome was't built in a day man, if you want a cookie cutter shelf item hit google theres plenty of that crap to go around, me, id rather wait and get the best i can find...my AI top end LT1 runs better than half the cookie cutter LSx junk out there all day
