Broken tie bars on lifters???

[Belgium R/T -68]

FWIW, I have build 2 engines with stock rockersetup after listening to Ron. One 440 for the GTX and now the 500 stroker for the Charger.
Never had any better engines and both also uses the Proform carb.

Ron,

My mechanic supplied all the parts and performed all the work minus the machine shop work. There was no written or verbal explanation of a warranty. My thoughts are when anyone spends a couple thousand it's implied that the work is going to last more than a few hundred miles.

Does anyone have an engine builder in the San Diego area they would recommend?

The stock WP housing with a good waterpump is all you really need....i ended up going back and my overheating issues were eliminated. 

Hope this helps....


Ron

what kind of waterpump and housing were you running when it was overheating? did you  swap to a stock housing and better pump?

If the mechanic purchased the parts then HE should be dealing with the supplier to make things right

Running stock water pump and housing. I think my overheating problem is from running to small of a fan. It's an electric dual setup but probably not pushing enough air.

Thanks for all the input guys. I'll keep ya posted on the outcome.
