The V8 Owners Forum -

Hi Paul.

Correct mate...UK suppliers don't always live upto my expectations in terms of after sales service. I set my standards quite high and expect the same from those who take my hard earned money. I see no harm in that :roll:

Hmmm...my 130 engine with blue rocker covers. That brand new engine ...

Can anyone tell me if V8 Develeopments are still in business? In the past 6 weeks I've sent them 4 emails and left three messages on their answering machine.
I can understand companies having email issues, but to only ever get an answer machine when I call them has me wondering whats going on.

I wasn't present during the final fitting of the rockers but I believe that no pre-load was set during the instalation.
I know that ...

I've joined this forum because I've experianced some problems with my 4.6 engine and no one seems to be capable of giving answers or solutions.

I purchased a Kent cams MDC1 268 and a Vernier Power pulley to compliment it. My mapping is via a Mark Adams Tornado 4.6 hotwire 14CUX.

When it came to ...

I put this up yesterday as my first post but for some reason it's dissapeared :?

Anyhow.
