Body Damage is Cool
if you do get one from engnbldr make sure you check that thing over good before using it. i know a few people who got warped heads and others that were just lemons. including mine, the hole for my fuel pump was too small and it when i started it up the arm broke off inside the engine. i had to take it all apart, clean it out, and then run an electric fuel pump b/c a mechanical one would not work w/o enlarging the hole.

i also reccomended eb to a local shop when they were rebuilding a yota. they got a head it was badly warped. you could feel it when you turned the cam. the truck ended up being there a month longer than it should of b/c eb had to ship another head out. that guy was pretty angry. not to mention the fact that it made me look like an a** b/c i kept harping on using his parts.

not to say engnbldr doesnt have good parts, ive only heard about problems w/ his heads. just check them w/ a straight edge and make sure all of the holes are the right size lol. and if there is a problem eb will gladly send you another one. youre just gonna have to wait. especially if you live across the country from him like i do.

i think im the only one on here thats had problems w/ him though. after all that being said, i still order my parts from him b/c of the price haha.
