Sounds like the overall recommendation is Alec's. I know about CC Racing, and High Performance engines, but I think Alec's is the way to go from what I have read.

Or don't check piston to valve clearance if your motor is a tight fit.

And @ Phil, most of my motor parts were bought off ebay. Nothing wrong with that if you know what you're buying. Supertech pistons, eagle rods, supetech valvetrain etc. All easily available on ebay for large price discounts. I'm surprised someone like you (shop owner) would be making silly comments like this.

I always thought he was. And that doesn't bide well for the actual owner of rise having silly comments like that associated with your shop.

CC racing is a really good shop. highly recommended. Built my whole motor from them for a mk1 rabbit. Great team, and very resourceful/ knowledgeable.

Basically Jim told me to fuck off when I approached him with the issue. He said that I'm a nobody and he doesn't need my couple grand because he works with biker money.
Real nice guy.....

one of the best small block ford engine builders is just across the line in Bellingham.
His name is Tyler King - he just built up a 347 for my dad.
Call Meridian Performance in Bellingham (if you're willing to go to the US)

The engine looks very simple like a typical push rod on google image search. Are you building something wild out of that platform or it's just a rebuild that went wrong?

Just in my typical smart ass way.

I am assuming these are for a honda engine, and I found better pricing from sponsors on h-t.
Also, Phil probably meant buying no name ebay parts like turbo kits and internals. Not the name brand stuff.

Not everyone on Revscene drives a Hon-duh. Assumption is incorrect.
