i just saw a thread pop up over on RL. once again, misinformation is being bandied about. there is talk of "gag orders" and "blown head gaskets", and other such nonsense.
to clarify, i never had any gag orders, or anything of the sort. people can talk all they want about the kit. in fact, i encourage them to do it here. all i asked is that it not be done in the background, as that would be working in a vacuum, and without accurate and complete information, it would only lead to more misinformation being passed around, which is counter to the interests of the community. we have a great site here, which is specifically designed to discuss these kinds of things. it's much better than the "beauty shop" conversations elsewhere, which are nothing more than anecdotal conjecture.
as for head gaskets, yes, a couple of them have popped. however, this was something i discussed in the information package, and has only happened on high mileage engines, or engines that were tracked on a stage 1 kit, or otherwise run counter to advisement, and to my knowledge, has not happened in over 2 years. of the 50+ kits out there, they are all currently running.
the only things we have really seen are a few idler pulley failures, due to over-tightening of the belt. this i attribute to my inability to adequately instruct people on tensioning. after better instruction, the $20 pulley has been replaced and run without issue
regardless, now 5 years later has proven to be a tremendous success.
by the way, you can still get one
