Jakes looking at making these kits available for what's a really reasonable price.
Here's the details: Engine Thread on Jakes Forum I'll put them together for cheap labor. He's only making four right now, but email him for details. |

Ok, I quess I'll jump in here. I wish this thread had come up about 2 weeks later, cause I've put it together but it hasn't run yet. I think that would give my post a little more credibility. With that caveat, I can make some comments.
1) The parts I recieved are absolutely beautiful almost too pretty to assemble. My favorite was the rocker assembly. 2) Everything has fit first time, everytime 3) Jake has supported my assembly with succinct and PROMPT replies. Most of my questions have been answered via email and if I remember right all have been the same day. 4) Jake won't do everything for you. Expect things to come back as they would from a machine shop. I've had to do some of cleaning (I probably should have done a better job before I sent the core). I've checked everything and I did have to remove filings from the oil galleries. 5) He will not spoon feed you. You will have to measure, check and test. When you get it right he'll tell you. It's been sort of student teacher. Fine by me. You will learn a bunch. 6) It's been great Dave |
