I got my stuff from John's performance yesterday.
The quality is excellent. He accidently undercharged me,
so I e-mailed him to inform him. He thanked me for my honesty
and said don't worry about it. Bottom line, he'll get more of my buisness.
I have another idea too !

OK, Its that time of year again. I'm shopping around for roller rockers.
Last year Summit had the Harland Sharp ones for $375, this year, they're $472.
Full throttle has them for $460.  Anybody seen a better deal anywhere ?

Last time I was lookin' for stuff, I e-mailed Nick a couple of times and he never replied. So I moved on.

I just looked again.

T&D from white racing $454

I forget where I got that price, but it was like $759 from what I remember.

Call him. If your about to buy it wouldnt hurt to try again, maybe he'll have a price you like? Or maybe he doesnt sell parts like that. Dont know.

Whats up Rob? long time no talk to. what ratio are you looking for ? I have been thinking of adding a  set of roller rockers 1.55's but it's either that or alky so well see, I think I am goin to have Russ Merrit take a look at my knock problem and look into the lifter preload also.
did you clearance the shaft pedistals yet? I wish someone told me to do this while I had the heads off. I am nervous about chips in my new engine. oh well, where are you at on your build? shortblock together yet?

Maybe Nick should learn to respond to emails. There's too many other vendors that can give great service and know how to communicate.

I've never had a problem communicating with Nick. Maybe he responded and RRs email dumped it to the junk folder? Maybe it was overlooked? Maybe Nick dosnt want to bother with selling parts? Who knows?

I wouldnt just pass it off because you know how communicating through emails can be.

Maybe spending $20 more to buy from a vendor who has excellent communicating skills is worth it. But if you arnt going to need tech after the sale, is the $20 worth worrying about communication?

I put the crank in last week, but thats as far as I got.
As for rockers, I'm looking at 1.6 ratio.
I bought a few more things from Jack Cotton this past weekend.
RJC deep oil pan
Cometic head gaskets
HR Parts motor mounts
and an aluminum MAF pipe
As for clearancing the pedestals, I think that only applies
to certain manufacturers and designs.
I haven't called anyone on the rockers yet.
