    From the seller... "At ESP, everything was disassembled and reassembled"

    Who is Enhanced Street Performance ( Contact Information ) ? Hopefully they're not responsible for this gem. If they are.... obviously, stay very very very far away from there!

    Expecting a return call on those Stage 3 DR Heads so sweetly depicted.

Or like the guy that was selling "dr650's" on E-bay yrs ago with a add saying something like "never got a chance to use them, my loss your gain" But he seemed to have a endless supply of them and sold tuns of them. Ne "never got the chance" to use like 20 sets of turbos ? lol

    And come on bought the heads that way and just installed them thinking they were our heads? lol The vales in those pics with the lettering on them are STOCK mitsu valves, DR stage 3 heads do not have stock valves, everybody knows that. And look at that nasty port work, come on he would have to be brain dead to think those were ours.
    I guess it's part of being successful Matt. We all know those are not your heads and I'm about positive the seller knew those weren't DR heads. I wouldn't be surprised if he bent a bunch of valves and just put that crap together himself (with a shitty attempt of a port job). Unfortunately pricks like this will use a successful name to try and rip people off. Not like he would advertise heads built by LMI. ha ha

    In for the explaination on this... Really this hurts more than just the people from DR, but also the community as a whole.. As much as our group(3s) is stuggling(fall of 3si, Lori stepping down from the NG, and places like lmi,and cianci) This is just another kick to the gut... So Adam...AKA FUCKER!!! Say something!!!!!! And you better not let any bullshit slip..

    Yep, I have seen this before. Also lose bearing clearances, low oil pressure, crank whip/flex, worn/bent piston pin...anything that allows the piston to travel farther up than normal.

    That one is my fave lol one valve guide cut off even with the port (a big no-no any way no latrol support on the valve that guide will be toast in short order) and the other not. Thats funny as hell, why would somebody do that?

    There are 2 ways to make a car fast.
    #1 use the Right combo of parts
    #2 Throw so much money at it that the car has no choice but to be fast.
