Maurice,

If you don't mind sir... I just need a little clarification.

Are your comments in support of Damage directed at his thoughts of Kirkham (and David Kirkham), or in support of Damage's comments regarding KC, or both?

I only ask because I note that your info states you have a KC built engine.

Feel free to PM if you prefer.

Kind regards

Damage,

I hear your pain and was right there with you when Barillaro built my cammer. I have lived this movie and the ending is never good. Hopefully, by exposing Keith Craft you have at the very least done a service to others on this forum. If you want it done right and put this episode behind you, I suggest contacting Ernie Elliott as he is the real deal when it comes to engine building.

A couple of our guy had problems with their 427 / 482 KC motors. Twice he came to town and repaired them. We live about 7 hours from Keith's shop.

The last time he mailed the parts and paid a local Ford mechanic to replace the cam and lifters. Lifter failed and damaged the cam.

The other motor a rocker came loose.

Several others have his motors with thousands of miles on them and no problems.

New parts break and sometime your guys just make a mistake.
For us Keith has always made it right.

I would buy a motor from Keith Craft.

Dwight
