MIlzy Stage 2 3500 heads

[jschmieding]

OK i have been hearing all these horror stories bout milzy. Well before I started hearing all this I had ordered a set of Stage 2 3500 heads from him. Well it took a while to get them, something like 2 months and costed about $1400. Well here are my pics and I would like some judgement calls on these cause I am not sure what I am looking for or at in regards to the quality of the porting and polishing. http://schmieding.tripod.com/my_phot...m/sspx0140?i=8

I would not spend over 1000 for port/polish work on any V6 heads let a lone 1400 for something of that quality.

x2


i've ported 3 sets of 3500 heads now, none of them look like that and i only charged each person $200 (they brought me their heads).


I would ask for a refund, Mike is a nice guy and i hope he takes care of you.

[jschmieding]

Well the $1400 covered the assembled heads. what also hurt was I didnt have a set of cores to send. As for the refund goes what do i do just call him up and tell him I am not satified with his work.

[ForcedFirebird]

WOW! That's all

I charge $350 for the labor on porting itself, then if the heads need a rebuild/machine work (or core charge), that's added in.
