Ugh. I build a nice 1UZ during this time, was talked in to Eagle rods. Well, the rods came apart on us. Talking to other builders, it sounds like Eagle had a bad run of rods during the Covid years as others have seen the similar. Really mad at myself for moving to a cheap rod. Live and learn.
The 2 valve locks that failed, looked like they matched in lash cap recession, compared to the other locks you showed, that did not match. The top of the lock looked shiny, like the lash cap was hitting it, but I don't know if the customer used lash caps or the depth of the lash cap. I am guessing the depth difference caused the lash cap to hit the valve lock because it was not cut deep enough.
Interesting what you said about moving to PAC locs, i moved over to them about 2 years ago after the retainer "wiggle" issues you described. Next brand didn't fit the stem ( bead loc would bottom out on the stem). Pac is definitely a quality part
Pretty cool man can't wait as always I will try to see if I can donate because I am very curious on cam specs but I always try to learn as much as possible. Before I try to go assume to somebody or my own stuff. Or whatever the deal would be. And dang now locks I will give you example of this I noticed you had mixed ones you explained but what I had happened before we had 1 missing from 1 package. And 1 extra from another package which was interesting but oh well. And hopefully I can try to send a head for refresh for next season soon. I got another set of protoplines I bought used being sent in because my sponcer took my other set which I was trying to get back from him because I told him I I had plans for those heads so I was going to have use another set for my sponcer to use like dart 215 from another guy it didn't happen. So hopefully the protoplines I get shipped to me are good I hope it's a same set just straight plug. And also order manifold threw you soon I hope so I am trying as fast as I can just I wish my sponcer and other would be more understanding on what I am doing but oh well
hi, I think you are not alone in your lack of business. I think people are simply running out of $$$. I think yoou will see this get worse- much worse before it gets better.
I like how you did the cam number drawing with your daughter pulling them. That was cool. Everyone is excited and anxious!! Lol.
The only thing stopping me from building my engine is not having any money ;)

Hi Eric. Are those locks DLC coated ? Are the locks made out of Titanium ?
Eric Weingartner, what kind of seat material are the sr20 heads using and will that hold up for street use?
Did u check the keeper groove depth of that valve?
How many are you going to do per day
Unbelievable the amount of crap like this going on. Can't trust any parts you buy , no matter the price.
Sounds like the slow down you are experiencing is the fact that a financial recession is coming upon us all.
