Well, on Friday I had all the valve springs and a bent pushrod replaced on the TR8 because the shop that resurfaced my heads put 0.060 shims under the valve springs without telling me,in addition to taking 0.012" off the head. When I replaced the worn out camshaft I broke three valve springs, bent two more, and a pushrod looked like a pretzel.Total repair cost was $350. Today I am marching down to the machine shop and demanding compensation. Any bets on whether I get any satisfaction? Stu 74 Tr6 80 Tr8 |
