+1 me as well, but then my motors don't make a lot of HP. I did not use an "Engine Designer" but instead just a good old engine dude from Mt Clemens, MI for advise!

Also I called direct to my Cam grinder/ Ultra Dyne and talked to Harold, but back then who da thunk?

I'm sure glad I burned all those ASE certs and traded the Snap-On boxes for servers and routers long ago. You guys are awful hard on anyone who busts knuckles today.. After two decades paying someone else to change my oil, I finally enjoy hacking around on engines again. But only after I'm board surfing all your wives and girlfriends nudie pix you believe are safe an secure in that magical place called the cloud. Everyone's an expert online till their dick pics show up posted on TMZ...

Ya all need to >>

Welcome Tim from AFR. Nice of you to stop by and add some valuable input about your products here.

Even through all of the static here I've extracted some valuable information to keep in mind. Mainly to leave everything stock, lol.

Man, you guys really know how to take all the fun out of boating. Now every time I take my boat out I will be worried that my AFR heads are going to drop a valve.

Not going to happen. Not a thing wrong with your heads.

The message here is always have clear and objective communication.

'Ready to run', 'drop-in', 'bolt-on' - subjective

Tolerances, service, operating conditions - objective.

Okay so you took advice from a internet jockey that drives a gravel hauler (please tell us you are leaving the site again), ICDEDPPL from what I have read works on bicycles, you did not pay your qualified machinist to build the engines, you did not dyno the engines, you continued to run the inferior by-pass system without properly clearancing the engines for that application and ruined perfectly good parts because you did not cheeeeaaaaped out on the build....................have you lost your facking mind!!!!!! THATS THE DEFINITION OF FACKING UP A BUILD!!!!!!!!!

So far the only problem I see that has to do anything with a Manufacturer is possibly the wrong springs were in 1 of the engines (not the 1 that had problems and ordered at a different time), but again a QUALIFIED builder would have caught that.


Reread your build thread...........you were steered in the right direction from the beginning and swore you would not cheapen the build but took the other direction (Internet cowboys) and now want everybody to pay.....YOUR bill !!!!!


The only reason you are getting anything is because of the internet exposure..........take that to the bank. If I had anything to do with it you would have got the bill you deserve!!!!


I am no longer a paying advertiser on this site for a reason........every time I spoke out against the donkeys that think they are "that" I would get in trouble because I was to be held at a higher standard........... I choose to fight with the PIGS!!!!!


MT crawl in the hole you came from.


PS............... I am not worried about losing business over this.......... I can only hope........I am waaaaay toooo busy!!!!!!

Abones, Sorry to see you involved..............my answer is EVERYTHING.

The people that are "dedicated" to their trade and work with the items used in it on a daily basis should hold more credibility than somebody that drives a gravel hauler giving engine advise he read about on the internet.

You have been to my shop and have seen my dedication to what I do but would take MT's advise over mine ?

Yeah but if MT gives someone advice and they don't take it he gets mad takes his ball home with him. Then he tells his friend Dan and Dan shows up and calls everyone names.
