I posted an add on craigslist saying the same thing i said on here and heres another problem some guy has had with this company.
Well I also have had some problems with them. My 22re blew a head gasket and in doing so ate away a piece of the coolant jacket on the #4 cylinder. I took the head off and after shopping around found cylinder head specialists to be the most inexpensive ( I geuss you get what you pay for) well I picked up the head and took it home to get my beloved 84 toyota p/u running again. well i got the head all bolted on the new gaskets all installed, the distributor installed, exaust and intake, then came the spark plugs, well I am a back yard mechanic, but I do know I had no problems with any of the spark plug holes in the past, I replaced the regularly, I would know, well #2 had a heli coil in it, and to top it off it was put in from the mating surface side leaving the tang in the way of the spark plug threading in. Well I got on the phone and called cylinder head specialists and after getting the owner on the phone ( had the same crappy attitude the other fella is describing, I was told to remove the head and return it to them. Come on fellas the head kit is 120$ and the head bolts are not reusable (from what I've been told and yes I sheled out to get factory bolts. So needless to say Steves machine in Tigard came to my house and removed the upside down heli coil and replaced it 100& later (wich I am still confused on how my threads got damaged to begin with. So i contacted cylinder head specialist and they said I had voided the warranty by letting someone else work on it, and they could not help me. So pass the word this place is a ripp off!!!
