Title: How long should a replate & dome cut take?
Post by: 81cr450 on July 11, 2011, 12:31:47 PM
Like the title says how long should a replate & head rechamber take. I sent off my jug at the end of February & I'm still waiting for it. I've paid in full with paypal & am half tempted to file a claim with them. I would probably be out my head jug wossner piston if I did & its been long enough that I wouldnt get all the funds back. I dont really want to be a dick but I'm beyond sick of waiting. I feel like I have a **** in my *** with no lube & I cant complain cause I'll just get pounded harder. A full 5 months. I did add some parts to my order part way through but they were just parts, powervalve, intake boot, & cases. Am I just being a winer. My last jug & head was with Eric Gorr 2 months & that seemed long. This guy seemed reputable & has answered my calls, but I was told a month & 1/2 ago it just needed to be shipped .

Where the hell did you send it to!  You have every right to be pissed. There is nothing worse than waitin for parts unable toride. Especially a cylinder while the motor is open, even though ya have a clean rag stuffed around crank it still feels like your gonna get foreign material in the crank. I sent my cylinder to Powerseal Usa. I got expedited service fpr 70$ more. Took exactly 7 days including the day i shipped it to have it back ib my possesion.   They said 2 weeks without it but i like tp keep ridin.    I hope you get it back soon!

Depends on who you send it to.

Yeah I can see that who you send it to would make a difference. That is part of why I choose who I did. Someone respected in the KX comunity, who has a good reputation. I really dont think I'm gonna get taken, its just frustrating when you plan ahead so you can ride & then the season gets stollen.

I cant even imagine 2 1/2 years. I'd drive clear across the country & take it out their arse. Revenge  :evil: dont even have the words

I did even ask if I needed to pay more , a couple different times, even after it was deemed "square" by the seller.

When I sent my last one to forward motion it took  2 months & came back with the ports all slagged out & the reweld had some porrossity that wasnt cool. I really just want a good job this time. I realize quality does take more time but...
