John Edwards is the man, if you have any machining that needs to be done go with him, hes been doing this for years now. He did all of my machining for me, he cut my valve seats, 3 angle valve job, decked the head and block...overall great business and person...

I would agree he does a great job.

BUT, it seems like he doesnt take me seriously.

My shit has been in there for about 5 months.

Just needed it bored, decked. valve job, deck head, valve guides, and balance the asssembly.

He gives me my block back yesterday finnaly and there was metal shavings EVERYWHERE. he didnt rinse it off and what not before he gave it back, so im taking it back today.

The guy from KAAZ reffered me to him, said he would lag, but knows his stuff.

I would admit, everything looks beautiful haha but seriously... getting real frustrated.

Im sure this review will change though after i talk to him, hes a really good guy, super friendly too.

I paid him money, TRUST ME.

He just doesnt take you seriously.

and honestly pretty sketched out on all the work he has done.

He forgets where he put everything, forgets what i asked, forgets everything.
