HAVE BEEN USING THESE GUYS FOR AT LEAST 14 YEARS WHEN I STARTED MY BUISINESS, THEY REBUILT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY SETS OF HEADS FOR ME BUT I CAN TELL YOU THEY WILL DO AN EXCELLENT JOB FOR YOU, ALSO AS A CUSTOMER YOU HAVE TO BE PREPAIRED WHEN THINGS DON'T GO WELL AND IF THE HEAD OR BLOCK IS JUNK IT'S JUNK! TAKE THE ADVICE OF THESE GUYS AND LISTEN TO WHAT THEY KNOW THEY WILL DO WHATS RIGHT, SO AFTER 14 YEARS I TRUST WHAT THEY TELL ME AND ALSO I WANT THE BEST QUALITY I CAN GIVE MY CUSTOMERS. THANKS GUYS!!!

I've been to them several times over the years and have always had a professional, pleasant, and timely experience and fair prices. The engines and heads they've done for me are still on the road today!!! Would recommend to ANYONE!!!

Expensive POS. Had a 360 stroker built , didn't know till I went to pick it up up that he would not warranty a thing on it . Got about 3500 miles out if it , lifters knocking, oil pouring out front seal . $6000 boat ankor. Owners is a rude peice of work. Save your money, go somewhere else!!!! Forgot to say this dandy job took forever, and they miss placed my flex plate and tried to blame my mechanic. Thanks Braford for the best $6000 flush I ever made without squatting. Never even got a invoice out of the guy.

These guys are awesome! I have taken several cylinder heads to them for resurfacing and 1 for full rebuild. Always excellent work, fair pricing and fast service.

I will drive a thousand miles to go somewhere else before I go here again. Owner is rude and wants you to pay up the butt for something that is of no use anymore. I Was lied to and told we were squared away debt wise and then changes his mind. I will see to it that everyone I know does not go to them.
