ASnake Hello. I give anybody a chance,but when I a bulls!hted more than twice, BITE ME. Al I have heard many different storys about Dove You are lucky with your heads. When I spend 480.00 for an intake manifold I donot expect to have to make repairs. Jim had the new foundry in 95 if not earlier. I got a Shelby motor and heads and they needed no tapping,filing,welding,filling,or clean up of castings. EBrock is the same way on completed heads. My heads were CNC port matched at Shelby and the gaskets matched perfectly. You had your heads leak tested. WHY??? when you bought brand new heads. You can thank your engine builder for taking the time to test and repair your heads, NOT THE MANUFACTOR. This is way in this great country some companys make it and same go bad, poor product, lack of product, promise of deliviery on time, poor design, quality lacking. Jim Dove is a machinist not a bussiness man. It's a Damn shame. Ebrock and Shelby started building or getting parts built for a small group of people, FE and Cobra people. We are small compared to Nascar,NHRA,F1,Indy cars, Ihra, and others. This is only MY FEELINGS about this company.
