I talked with Jay about 2 weeks ago and he was waiting on valves. I have a set of 5.3's on order with him.

Yeah, I think he's still waiting for valves from REV. They should be in soon, I heard end of the month (which is just a few days away.)

I got mine about a week and a half ago. He is waiting on valves again. REV sent him some crappy valves that didn't flow like he wanted. He is waiting on the Correct ones from REV this time. Should be pretty soon. He has alot of heads ready to put valves in a ship.

Well his VM is full. Can't leave a message.

I think I have a leaky head gasket, so I would like my heads now.
I really don't want to do the work twice.

Still have not had it tuned. But some goodies including an FMIC and the SDCE kit is sitting on my couch. Once I put those on, I'll have her tuned and it's gonna be all good

I haven't heard anything yet. When I talked to him beginning of Sept, Jay figured that things would ship out to me by the end of Sept due to the vavle issue, but since I haven't got a call, I am assuming that there is another delay? Its about a week past now when he figured.

If anyone talks to him, let us know the status. I ordered in July, FWIW.

Jay called me this morning and promised he would call back by the end of today. I removed all the bad publicity posts I made about his heads in good faith.

Jay's voicemail box is full. D'oh! So I coudn't leave him a message.

Has anyone spoken with him in the past week to see how things are going? Did he get the valves in?

Myself I'm in no rush really cuz my car is in storage, but I'm curious to know how things are progressing.
