Re: Engine swap on the C1

No matter what would of happened,I would notbe able to port these heads. The porting shop, waived the 600.00 fee, obviously. The PORTING SHOP than got me a reasonable comparing head, for a killer deal.
My castings were flawed, since they were manufactured. This was common, after I did some research. I did get one hole repaired, however The other hole, is in a spot were only jb weld could be applied. No angle for a tig welder, I am a certified, mig / tig welder, trust me , if there was any chance, I would do it. Same fixture, machine, and program, produced many, many good heads, the water jackets, being shifted was a notorious problem, 3 years ago. One would be amazed, how many bad sets of heads are out there. I have read at least 5 others, with the same problem. I mean, I think, since the castings were acknowledged, to have been problematic, by there own customer service reps, there should be something for the consumer here. Heck, I would settle for a good discount. I think there action of correcting the manufacturing problem, than there lack of action of correcting the consumer that had the defective products, would hurt there sells. however, I guess, with as many of bad heads out there, of this design, this company would of went belly-up, and never released , by there definition, "holy grail" eliminator series.
by the way,the last I checked, I still had a function account over there, FOR NOW.
