Here's the email from Ron/Brad documenting the issues. I'm not sure how 3 shops missed all of this. I was sent a ton of pictures as well. I will attach them when I am home from work!

This is the summary of problems

There are 3 different kinds of titanium intake valves one being a different length, lock groove, and tip length

The castings by cyl

#1 Intake seat and exhaust seat have been replaced, pockets were welded up and did not have enough material added so when the seat was installed ¼ of the seat is exposed at least .100 down on the deckside the area by the spark plug looks to be peened over by both intake and exhaust seats.

#2 has same problems as #1 with less seat exposed.

#3 has same problems as #2 with 1/8 of the seat exposed about .080 down also cracked from intake port to exhaust port and intake guide boss cracked to roof line.

#4 cracked from intake port to exhaust port and was once sealed by epoxy wall thickness is about .020 thick in spots

#5 cracked from intake port to exhaust port, bridges burnt out (area where seats meet each other)or possibly lack of weld material when seats replaced

#6 cracked from intake port to exhaust port, bridges burnt out (area where seats meet each other) or possibly lack of weld material when seats replaced

#7 cracked from intake port to exhaust port this one goes to seat pocket bottoms, bridges burnt out (area where seats meet each other) or possibly lack of weld material when seats replaced

#8 bridges burnt out (area where seats meet each other) or possibly lack of weld material when seats replaced

lmao and he wants people to believe that nobody caught all of that. I am your average backyard wrench but anytime I've gone to a head shop those guys have spotted countless things right away. I've spoken to greg before - he wouldn't even mill my head without doing all kinds of other work just to avoid situations like this. He wants us to believe that he went over these and flowed them and didn't see any of that.

live and learn pax. It sucks to say but the only redemption you'll get is the fact that most on this forum will not deal with Brad (aside from nitrous pete) in turn costing him some business (although scammers always find another sucker on another forum), and saving other members money....For whatever that consolation is worth.

Well.. I'd love to know about the past 3 situations so that I can talk with the officials on banning those folks. If YOU don't make US aware of issues so that we can figure out the truth of each situation, then how can we even possibly ban those folks?? I have no issue with getting rid of crooked people who are on here.

If this isn't resolved between the 2 parties, it will not end well. Aftering being involved with MM since the start 10+ years ago, this will spread like wild fire simply by a few emails/texts to yellowbullet/TDR/etc officials/members.

This is a club. We love to have any reputable business sponsor the board....... Fuck a member over? Bye! Oh, and spread the word!

He used this board to sell the piles of shit. To a member.

O'Hara automotive is a crooked seller.

+1! I personally think he should be banned, he reminds me of a certain transmission guy who's known for screwing over members. stealing peoples money then laughing in their face and telling them to F off.

He is/was a sponsor here and i've got no problem with him/them using MM as a way to seek a solution or out a rat. Over the years we've helped a ton of people get their issues resolved with vendors/merchants, the internet is a powerful place. I wouldn't want someone sticking around that was going to screw you or the guy next door over, gotta look out for people! I know you've got a good reputation for the work that you do, that means a lot in business these days!
 
Pull a Discount Tire, take one of the castings back and lob it threw the front window! Save the other one for a year or two down the road and repeat.. LOL.
