Lawsuit anyone?

I recently bought a pair of fabricated valve covers for a BBC and one of them was warped so bad I couldn’t get the bolts started. It was like pulling teeth trying to get their customer service to respond and understand my complaint. I emailed, called, left messages, and texted all of their numbers. They tried like hell to get me to believe it was normal and I should crank em down till they sealed. Nope. I explained that wasn’t going to happen and would like my money back. They finally sent me a return label and I can send them back and get another pair. This whole scenario took over a month.

Manufacturer? Retailer?
 
Yes it is. But a lot of their advertising says manufactured, cast, poured, whatever, in Australia. What I expect as well as others I’m guessing, is for a company to ADVERTISE exactly what the product is and hold up their end of the bargain when manufacturing mistakes are made. It’s simple customer service really.
Exactly.
If I wanted to deal with a 'here today n gone tomorrow' shyster, I'd go to a supermarket parking lot and buy from the guy with the van full of designer speakers..

Speedmaster does not stand behind their products. I hope the entire muscle car community buys elsewhere. This isn't canceling either, they fkn lie about their products and send you garbage 2nds and 3rds even. They would box up a ******* dead rat right off the rack and send it to you based on the fact I got two different looking 'dimensional diffs' heads. Unreal...
 
You may not remember, but several years ago, almost every company of lawn mower motor manufacturers got busted in a class action suit about false horse power claims. I think I got 8 dollars. lol The point is, something should be AS ADVERTISED if you buy it. If not, it's either a mistake, or someone is flimflammin some ****.

And all this "what did you expect" helps no one. As someone who contributes a lot around here, yall could lay off that **** with him. That ain't cool. I agree when he said he expected them to be as advertised and similar to other offerings from other companies. It's bullshit that they were not and more bullshit how he's gettin the run around.

A LONG time ago, I bought a flimsy looking timing light from Montgomery Wards. Id was SO dim, you could not use it. I went back to return it, and was told, "What did you expect for $5?". I said that I expected a timing light that worked as advertised on the package. I did have to argue a bit, but I got my refund.

That's right. If people have the balls to bring something to market and advertise it as doing something, it needs to do it.

The same people would be crying if they were sold some hokaspokas here by a member... yet they say "what did you expect" Too funny. To all sellers remember these people so when they cry you can say hey what do you expect I'm not a high-dollar vender like summit. ..I'm a nobody. Haha
 
60 day policy. I asked for 2 sets if valves as compensation to make it worth while, nope.
162 dollars is more than speedmasters reputation is worth , according to speedmaster.

So....refresh my memory. WHAT did the ports cc? And what were they advertised?
 
Advertised intake port 179cc
Actual 150cc
29cc's is missing

That's a lot. Just askin.....I know you shouldn't have to but can you make that up porting? Even if you can, if they were the right size to begin with, you could make them even bigger.

They'd be around 4cc bigger with a 2.02 bowl done up-thats ontop of what's in it with the 1.94 I did on mine.. Need 15cc more. Ha nope.

Well educate a mug. What's so important about volume? Isn't port flow much more important? Or more accurately asked...."what" you need to be paying attention to?
 
Speed master what? Aluminum, mag iron?
Ootb speed master aluminum doesnt flow that good. The valve job is the main issue.
Speedmaster aluminum, and they didn't flow that well (in terms of a good head) but I'm used to it with eldebrocks lol. they did have a valve job and 2.05s and flowed mid 230's with untouched ports. With about 30 minutes of work the intake went to 254. Interesting thing is they were tested on two different benches in the exact same configuration. One showed 254 untouched and 270 with a little work and the other showed 233/254. I know which bench I'm going with.
