ALERT!! SOUND THE ALARM!!..

I’m not clear on why you haven’t gotten the other stuff yet.

At this point I’d say, if they can’t ship everything other than the rockers today......... I’d cancel the whole order.

Actually....... if you didn’t have a specific build in mind for the parts, and just bought them because it was cheap........for a yet to be determined project........ I might be tempted to just cancel it all as a matter of principle.

NO! it's to good a deal to pass up, and yes, when I talked to Josh a few weeks ago He said he would ship the heads and intake then. What they did or are doing is/or borders on fraud. They advertised a product, I ordered and paid up front for the product, it's not my fault they didn't have it in stock, if that's the problem, they shouldn't have taken the order, now they don't want to honor their deal, they've had my money for over 45 days, i received zero communication and zero product, now they want to raise the price on something they and I agreed on.
Would you like an interest free loan? that's pretty much what they did, yes, small potato's, but it the principle.

I hear ya...... and I think it’s ridiculous they won’t honor the discounted price for the rockers if you ordered them while the sale was going on.

The big “If” for that would be .......if somewhere in the fine print it says something like “sale prices for in stock items only”.

Aside from all that...... it’s crazy they haven’t shipped your other stuff yet.
It’s been such an overall cluster on your transaction..... I’d think they would honor the sale price...... even if it only as an act of good will.
 
Yes, my thinking exactly, think I have been more than patient.
 
I had my Fiasco and they sent me Ford heads I was on the phone with them every day at 8 a. M. Until I had a confirmation email with a shipping date...
and especially if nothing was out of stock when you ordered it I would be all over them everyday about getting that stuff for what they were selling it for when you ordered it... We would be on a first-name basis guaranteed..
 
After reading thru most of the 27 pages of replies, I need to ask a question. What new heads (complete with springs and valves) would you buy, and from who? Looking for Ootb performance, without too many problems for mild performance.

I hope Ya ain't talkin' to Me ! :)
 
Ya know, I ben thinkin', I may push this as far as I can, they sold me something they didn't have, which I paid for in full, now they want me to pay more than the agreed price when the have it even though they still don't have it, isn't that fraud?

Well I have been diagnosed with DQS, the Don Quixote Syndrome !
 
I don't know if you saw my posts but I had the same crap going on and after talking to quite few people (some were goofy bastards as well) Jason called me back and sent me the heads and cancelled the rockers. But, I still did not have a refund for the rockers after three weeks so I sent a nasty email to them stating if I didn't see a refund in 24 hours I would be calling my bank, I finally saw the refund three days later.
 
Good morning this is Jpar, calling about my heads...

Well I finally got up the gumption to tell my engine builder I actually bought offshore heads as he would call them. He really had a disliking for Patriot heads? I said I was coming in to get oil and he said go ahead and bring the heads will take a look at them. After checking out his new state-of-the-art balancing machine and doing a little BS'in we went out to my truck and grab the heads. The open one up and right away he was impressed with the exhaust floor or I believe it's called the short-tern..
He said something about a NASCAR shaped combustion chamber. Then he went on to tell me it wouldn't hurt if I took an old spark plug and cut the strap off and ground back the electrode or whatever and when it had and did like 318 did and smooth out the extra threads.. he said it had 10 degree retainers and he seemed to like that. I questioned the valve seals and he said those are the good ones. I told him I believe it has a 1 angle valve job and we both had a good laugh... I believe he's going to remedy that.. he said he'll give me a call in a week or two and tell me what he finds once he opens them up.. when I said what range am I in price-wise he said just a couple hundred dollars from what I can see but again he wants to open them up I'm get more accurate..
He didn't see any red flags and didn't predict any but of course nobody knows...

Good to hear. From what has been said about them, they are pretty darned good heads, especially for what we paid for them. I got lazy and thought I might sell mine and make a hundred or so. No I don't think I will. I bought 2 sets of roller rockers, sold a set to a close friend and he will use those on his stroker. Those will need some modifications to work with the springs on the heads. Depending on what cam I run in whatever I put the heads on, I might not need those springs anyway. I might go with smaller diameter ones or even beehive springs so the interference issues won't be a factor. I'm not going to start grinding on stuff until I have a plan.

I have the Hughes 1.6 to 1 roller rockers and they don't seem to have any clearance issues...

The guy I sold the rockers to bought some Harlan Sharp's with no clearance issues. He didn't get spacers with them so he used the Speedmaster spacers. He still has the rockers and shafts and can easily sell them and get his $100 back.
