I got my DS back from SamCoe Wed. And alll I can say is "%$#^%#@#%@#[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]" The first time I had him build my 720 the piston was hitting the head !! Now I get back the second time after 5 WEEKS!! and it was missing the top motor mount bolt, the 2 allen bolts at the base of the jug were missing. Plus before I sent it back to him this last time I Had RWR install some larger valve seats (40mm/34mm) in my head while it was off. SamCoe was suposed to do the valve job and set all the valve heights. So I pulled the cams and checked what he had done and found that he did not set the valve height, The valve shims were only sitting in their pockets .002 to .003 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] and the shims were extra thin in order to get the correct valve clearance. The problem is the shim could pop out of their pockets!! So now I have pulled my motor. If there is a lesson to be learned here it is"You get what you pay for" don't try to save a buck by mixing parts and labor from different shops. Bottom line I will NEVER go back to SamCoe Performance.

 

Sorry to hear that man, i can understand your frustration [ of course] give me a call and fill me in Scott. I dont get it!!! now that you told us this i am not going to send my motor back to him, this is unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!! well i have a good lawyer we can use if you want...he must think we are a bunch of clowns, but he will soon see who gets the horns...At least with Gary you will have it done right, and no more of this BULL ****...you know what burns my b@lls, he put the back of my 763 on his new website on the DS page, wow !!!! dont i feel cool [ya right], he cant even get a motor done right and he is showcasing our dyno #s and our bikes...CARMA IS A FUNNY THING[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

One more thing I just looked inside the Exhaust ports and noticed that SamCoe did some unauthorized porting[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] He compleatly removed the valve guide bosses in the exhaust ports. If I am not mistaking, that would ruin the head or am I wrong??

IF you build it yourself - it will run!

 

Removing the valve guide bosses wont ruin the head. Valve guide life may decrease ever so slightly because there is not as much support for the valve stem.

Hey Scott are you sure Sparks didn't do that? Why aren't you running shim under buckets? You are asking for big trouble there bro![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Thanks for the info MisterHP, Tony-- I do have the shim under bucket springs.

 

Sorry to hear that, I haven't heard alot of good things about Sam Coe Performance.

 

Has anyone had any other problems with the hd valve springs? Just that one time with Marky right?
