Finally!

After being fed ******** for the past 10 months, they finally arrived.




A very long story short, this is the 4th cam, 3rd set of lifters and 3rd set of rockers that they sent to me. Now that its over I can finaaly get my engine back together.

Were the other parts the wrong ones or defective?

Here we go!

I sent my cam, lifters and rockers to them.
Cam was shot
Lifters were shot
Rockers, 3 were cracked

They made all new parts, they said it took so long because they dont offer a 1.65 rocker anymore and they had to make them special. That process took about 6 months.
They ship it out, a week later I call and ask where my parts are.

ISKY: He says there is a "D'' under status of shipment

Me: ok what does that mean

ISKY: He calls UPS, the box was destroyed coming off of their conveyor belt!

Me: Now what!

ISKY: We have to make you a new cam, new rockers and get you a set of lifters

Me: ok how long will that take? A couple weeks go by, I call up, where are my parts?

ISKY: Its almost ready

Weeks go by still nothing. I call again

ISKY: I cant find your cam!

Me: Ok, so now what.

ISKY: Let me see what I can do.

I call back

Isky: I cant find it, I miss placed it because it took so longer for the rockers to be made because you are literally the last person to have a set of 1.65 rockers ever made by us. I'll put the order in and have it asap.

I call back a couple times a week and a half go by, still nothing.

Me: Where are my parts?

ISKY: Oh, I cant ship them, your card was declined.

Me: What card did you use? I thought you charged me the first time you shipped them?

ISKY: We didnt charge your card the first time, we were going to charge it when the parts got there.

Me: Ok, Ill have to call back and check my bank statement.

Me: Ok, you never charged me, here is my info.

A week later this package appeared at my door step!

That is about as summarized as I can get it, a lot went on!

Yeah, I dont think I'll give up on them, I just wish I knew going into it that it would be a hassle. I would have gone with 1.6's and called it a day. The guy we deal with is extremely knowledgeable but I guess **** happens. Not that it mattered but I was unemployed last year anyway and it just would have sat. At least now I can throw it together and enjoy it, I guess I am trying to look on the bright side!
