Sorry to drop this bomb on you guys! It has been coming for a while now.
I've watched as the quality of the used cores has just steadily gone down hill. I can no longer accurately forecast turnaround for used heads and that effects every order that I have in the shop. With the increase in 986/996 head work, (which is easy to forecast turn-around on) and the success of our program based on new heads it has become detrimental to my business to keep offering remanufacturing of used castings. I just never know what I'm going to find with the darn things! Most of the heads that I see these days have been through the hands of another shop, usually a hack. Some of the mutilation can't be undone. I know that most, if not all of the folks on this forum are hard working people with not a lot of money to spend on their toy. Jake and I are going to do everything we can to keep prices affordable and we will be offering a basic package that will sell for not a hell of a lot more than the cost to reman used heads. For folks who want to find a shop to work over their used heads I will be selling a rebuild kit. It will come with everything that I used to rebuild these heads. Valves, springs, retainers, guides, valve seats, ground keepers and HD rocker studs. The price will reasonable and at least you'll know you're getting good stuff. |
