I quit using them. I had them freshen up my shortblock and do a valve job. 1600 miles later it dropped a valve and trashed the motor. Paid to have it rebuilt and it lasted almost a yr, spun rod bearring.

Had trouble twice never went back.Some swear by them but wasnt going to get burned a 3rd time.From what I hear they got the LSx platform down pat but for us ford guys id recommend Owens.Owens has built 2 flawless motors for me.Both built for 1000hp

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll be sure to give them a shout in the near future.
