Parts in: 3rd Try on Engine Posted by Shaun [Email] ![]() ![]() |
PAECO ruined the head to my car when they did the engine. They had put in the wrong valve guides, hence, lots of oil throughout. They changed them, and all the exhaust valves that got bent when the exhaust cam sprocket came loose because they didn't torque to specs....nice. Anyway, they repalced everything, but I told them not to put it together. BTW, both cams were ruined as well. So they partly paid for some Swedish Dynamic cams. I sent the head and everything to LESCO. Head was 0.040" out of square. Unusable. Real nice. So LESCO found me a head and redid it. The retainers and valve springs were crap, so LESCO put good ones in.
Anyway, I have everything now and maybe this weekend I can get the top end back together. What a nightmare. Yes, I am going to demand that PAECO pay for the new head. If they don't, it's court time.
BTW, the head looks good. Port and polish was much better than the PAECO hack job.
