Lol . . .no.

Dropped a 4G63 head off to them, they broke the first two.

First one they called to tell it was done (after a week), when I got there, they asked if I had dropped off the cams and everything else, I had, as an entire unit. They had lost all the bolts, caps, etc. and were looking for them and the head hadn't been touched, so it wasn't done, said it woud be done in a week. Two weeks later, hadn't heard from them, called them - they still hadn't touched it. A week later they finally call, went to pick it up, they had stripped out the part for the oil feed line. Made them get another one and rebuild it for me. Secodn one, they broke off one of the posts for the cam caps. (dropped it?) They tried to JB weld it back on and give it to me I refused. He blamed some new kid he had hired for the shotty work. Third one finally got back, valve siezed in 3k miles. So again, no.


Dunkums on jefferson and mercury.
