Ron Lombardo (accobra)- As usual your response is clearly an attempt to instigate and distort the situation.
There is no shortage of qualified local engine builders that are willing to take on this job, so no worries there.
I did say that I was going to re-spec the entire valve train, yes? I am assuming you can read, if only selectively.
If I go to a hydraulic roller set-up I will get a compatible cam ground and installed. It should have been clear to you but either you didn't read what I wrote or you are just looking to distort the conversation.
As for your comment about only getting 1500 miles, why is that funny? It is very apparent from your comments that you enjoy other people's misfortune.
Again I did not do ANYTHING wrong here.
I went with a builder whose reputation was good from everything I could research. When it came down to it they cut corners on the build leading to an early demise for the engine. Due to lack of customer service skills or really caring about their customers it became an issue that I shared with the forum so that other Pantera owners could be aware.
I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of, so why do you keep trying to push it back on me?
Maybe your answer will be something other than your usual sarcasm and sniping. If you have an answer that has some subtsance it is most welcome.
If your response is the usual sarcasm that we have come to expect from you here I am sure that the forum members will see it for what it is.
