Greetings,

If you guys think that the issues with T&L are isolated, go to the gt40.com forums, T&L engines: Quality Control?. After reading this post, and looking at the pictures, I decided to look at my own engine. Sure enough, misaligned rocker arms. Contacted Lloyd, he asked that I send him some pictures. I did this, no reply. Sent several messages, no reply. Offered to change the rocker arms myself, if he would supply the parts. He offered to sell me the rocker arms. Pretty good warranty!!! On the GT40 forum, he replaced the rocker arms for some of the guys there. The complaints with T&L are getting more frequent, and he is just ignoring them. I don't know what to do now, other than file a suit in small claims court. But a judgement is hard to enforce from across the country. I guess a person has to decide for themselves if the frustration is worth doing business with T&L. It isn't for me. I learned a valuable lesson here. Do your shopping at a local shop.
My engine is a 383 stroker, 200 CC Dart Pro 1 heads, all forged internals, Comp Cams blower cam, hydraulic roller lifters, Weiand 177 Blower. It is supposed to have splayed main bearing caps.
