Run the Cat crap.Failed everywhere. Stock 273 adjustables,fixed. (Mild 260@.050,hydraulic flat tappet).
Everything from China is crap? Especially Apple stuff. So why is that? China can make top quality or the worst quality. It's not China it's whoever puts in the order and specs for production. So it's not China's fault, and not everything should he grouped in one lot, it's all about how good whoever is producing the part wants the part to be. I am forced to order my work clothes through specific made in the USA plants with high paid union workforce. These $100 work clothes and boots don't last as long as the $10-$15 stuff I buy at Walmart.
So maybe the parts are crap but that's only because the person who speced the parts told then just make them as inexpensive as possible. That's not China's fault just following orders.
Everything made in china is ****.....
comp pro mags great stuff
The market and world we live in is directly related to our own choices. We choose to "pay less" at places like Walmart, we choose to buy Rams and Chryslers from foreign companies, we settle for a percetage of a product being made in the US and say it's OK to call it thhat, we shop at foriegn owned business, we chose to order parts from Rock Auto or cheaper retail outlets instead of traveling or paying more for domestically based and local product.
We got used to deserving everything and deserving it cheap. We made this bed.
did you clean then pre lube them before assembly?
did you prime the engine before starting?
did you check for oil up top?
we need more before just jumping on board...
PRW can be as good as anything else. JUST like ANY aftermarket parts, they should be thoroughly disassembled upon purchase and completely inspected and any imperfections corrected. It's true of the best made American products and it's true of the shittiest made foreign products. Edelbrock heads is a prime example. I'll be damned if I would slap them on right out of the box. No way in hell. As greymouser7 said, give us a list of 100% American made parts. Lets have it. And priced reasonably. I agree with "you get what you pay for" but you shouldn't have to mortgage your frikkin house to build a car.
I kinda agree with moper but I kinda dont as well. Here in Canada it seems 95% of what business's stock locally is made offshore,and if you get upset and shop elsewhere in order to buy Canadian or American you get accused of not supporting the local economy,lol....How is it that business is supporting the local economy by stocking so much foriegn made product? Surely the dollor they have spent on it doesnt stay here.So the decision to support made in North America has been taken out of my hands,because stuff made here is near impossible to find. And that is a direct result of investors chosing not to spend thier money here,simply because we in North America DEMAND a living wage.Folks working in offshore factories work for less simply because they most likely have no choice...
I must say that I made the right decision when I chose to buy a Canadian made bed.It took a while to break in but now Im getting the best sleep ever. goes a LONG way towards helping my body heal. It cost us a lot,almost 3 grand but has a 10 yr warrantee. Try getting that from offshore product,lol...
I searched and serached locally for a master brake cyl for my Dart that WAS NOT MADE OFFSHORE. NO DICE....
