I saw that one too Bobby... I think it was just a stock rebuild... They ahd a really sweet Mitsubishi motor they were building too, forged internals, cams, moroso oil pan... I'd keep my eye out for a quick mitsubishi here soon...

Rob told me they were closing, but wasnt 100% sure, so I was hoping my head would get here and over to them in time before they did go out... I just want Frank to do the work... I dont care if he works for NAPA now or where he went, I just want him to do the work on my head, because I know it'll be done right...

Wingman, from them? You used Valve Tech in FWB Florida?


the previous owner did, i've got the recipts sitting right here...they did a good jobs on the valves themselves but the block and head surface were really crappy...i know it's why the HKS gasket failed. Like I said I hope your's doesn't come out looking the same way, if it were me and not the previous owner that had shelled out the coin there would be hell to pay.

Maybe that was at their old shop... Or maybe it was the technician... I dunno... When they did the head on my last Supra, it was perfect... And Frank personally built mine, so I feel really confident...

Anyway... Yeah, went by there today, found out what was up... There is an issue between the two partners... But Im goin over friday to pick up the motor... And he's going to do my head, when I get it.... So that's cool... Im not so worried now... I didnt pick up the motor today, because I dont have my stand yet, so Im getting one tomorrow, and then getting the motor friday...

Interesting situation indeed... :D:D:D
