Devil's advocate with Julio... It's his kit, it came out of his mind, he built it, and his name is on the box.....
I can recall a few times, I got asked to build a timing cover/oil pump.... BUT the person wanted me to do it differently than I wanted to do it.
yup I agree, and that's totally fair! On the other hand, its not like I was asking him to cut up his kit to make something special for me... I just wanted to rebuild my pump.... and to be fair he did say I could send it and he would check it out.
I may still send it in, but there was a very clear "I told you so" undertone just waiting to pop out when that pump to arrives. So I figured I was gonna cut my losses and put my own kit together just like I had been told by my mentors before.
