I have had several dealings with Bob. Not one have EVER ended wrong. He is a stand up guy who makes things right and makes sure you are happy with your purchase. To tell you how highly I rate him, I lost a friendship a few years ago over a dealing he had with Bob. I worked with my friend for a long time, recommended him to Bob on an engine build. He and his engine builder screwed Bob over a few parts. Now mind you, I have never even met Bob in person. In my opinion, it was obvious what my so called friend did, so I took Bobs side. The end result, I still talk and deal with Bob and have not talked to my x-friend since.
Hey Bob... BTW, I have heard through the grape vine that after he took your parts out his engine never ran right, even after a couple of cam swaps. Better yet, the engine grenaded shortly after.

Bob is aces...made me a great cam and fixed a horrible job by a previous builder. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and trusting. He sent me $1,800 of parts prior to invoicing me and I sent him a check the next day. Anyone who makes an enemy with Bob, by breaking such trust, is losing a valuable asset.

Bob is absolutely at the top of his game! He worked with me all last winter suggesting various parts for my project and I went with him on the valvetrain. He exceeded all of my expectations and I have never met anyone that has been as willing to go as far out of his way to make sure his customers get exactly what they need and are completely taken care of. His parts prices are reasonable in my opinion and the knowledge he has and is willing to share with his customers is priceless! The patience he displayed while working with me (due to a conflict regarding valvetrain assembly. specs by my machinist.....by the way, he did finally listen to me and set the springs up with your specs Bob) was impressive. I recommend Bob to anyone I can when the opportunity presents itself and will continue to do so in the future! His reputation speaks for itself!

I've been working with Bob myself. I'm dealing with my machine shop which is doing what Bob asked as far as specs on the block and heads, but is slow going (I told them to take their time, they are busy and I'm working in the boat). And now Bob is waiting on me, so he can design and make the cam. But told me whenever I'm ready to let him know.
To me, with no money exchanged, that's stand up customer service.

Well said, Mr. Arctic. Nothing worse than helping someone and they try to cheat you or take money out of your pocket.
I had a guy after 22 yrs in business, get me for 2800.00. I was warned and believed he would follow through with his promise. I had a signed invoice, a check, I could cash if delivery didn't happen. He paid his bill, but he didn't build me 4 steel tables in exchange for dyno fees for 2 engines, and parts for dressing them out. The check, was on a inactive acct. and the signed invoice wasn't worth me taking the time to pursue it. So now it's a joke and the "wall of shame". The bad thing is I agreed to it and so did he. What goes around comes back around to BITE YOU!

In South Carolina, if you wait more than 10 days to cash the check, it's considered NO GOOD!!!! I am laughing at this point. I will be starting a post in the Beware & Stolen section. This guy, never had any intentions of paying me. It was a deal; he was to make me 4 steel tables in exchange for labor for dyno of 2 engines, and some parts for the amount of $2800.00. He gave me a check for the amount, and said; you can cash it, if the tables are not completed by a certain date.

I believe it is called the "Stale Date" and might be 6 months in MI.
