Dale, whatever you do try not to save a buck at this point, have good help with assembly and make sure all things are checked and logged. good luck bud!!

I agree. He needs to get back on the water having fun.

make no mistake,bob madera still has ton,s of happy customers.the pricing on a custom camshaft from him is sometimes less than some off the shelf crane cams and his pricing on afr heads can,t be beat.you are correct about the tech section not looking good lately,maybe some day the troubled ones will be gone and guys will be willing to give info again.it,s a shame when guys like mild thunder give great tech advice and a hand full of clowns have smart azz comments,makes a guy say f##k it.

I'm thinking we should all be banned for being dumb enough to respond, but hey jerry springer has a following too.:picard1:

This thread resembles a bowl of dicks.

and you wonder why all your posts in this thread were getting deleted.

I was recently reading a thread on one of the other forums. I dont recall all of the details. But I remember horsepower1 being the main guy posting, and it was regarding some of the design issues with afrs casting, or what he felt were issues. What i found interesting, was Tim, from air flow research, chimed in on the thread, thanking him for bringing the issues up, and said that on their next run of bbc head castings, they would be making the according changes, based on that information.

Sorry, but I have to think, if horsepower1 made posts, that the manufacturer of the said product, is going to actually make a change based upon his findings, i would think "this guys no dummy"

Maybe he can talk about that, i dont recall the details of the whole thing.

I tried starting a thread with some good Info to help protect ourselves from these engine developers who can easily point the finger at the builder, the assembler, the machinest, or even thier own customer not standing behind what they helped design. But unfortunately it was deleted.

I don't care if it's Bob or Straub/Foxwell.....

It would be great for all of them to share free info that we can choose to do whatever we want with, besides argue over

They ALL have mad mistakes, its how they handle those mistakes that matters to me.

And if someone wants to warn us of a company's mistake, great, warn us, we should openly accept the warning, lets thank them, doesn't matter if we agree or disagree and move on.

Well said.

I'm pretty sure the o.p. bought the heads 13 pages ago.
