I had a great experience with him. From what I know he doesn't have enough man power to support his demand during the summer. I'm not excusing the behavior by any means, but I do realize there are 2 sides to every story and I'd like to know more about what happened.

im running nicks cams, he went out of his way to talk to me and make sure that i was getting the right cam for my set up. other than the fact it took a little while for me to get them (no fault of mhs... bullitt cams shut down for christmas when i ordered them), i had a very good experience with nick. i would suggest him to others. im sure there is another side to the story.

Let me tell ya, it takes a real ******* to try and destroy another man's business. I just got a set of blower cams, valve springs,cam gears,6061 plenum. Tfs crank gears, and cam degree service from nick. He helped me out through out my build. He is only one man. A man busting his ass to keep a million mustangs on the road. I say, walk a mile I. His shoes and ur attitude will change drastically. Mhs is the only route I take!

Did you even read the circumstances? Nick straight screwed up with THIS customer.
SO WHAT Nick has done in the past. He screwed up here...............and there are others.

PS............if you're gonna ignore facts and defend the guy, at least TRY to be truthful yourself....................."A man busting his ass to keep a million mustangs on the road." That's just plain IGNORANT!

Everyone is beating on this.....why? Nick offered the guy a refund, but not a full refund because he failed to ship the stuff back correctly. It has been WELL documented that it takes time to get stuff from MHS, again, we all know this, so, again, why are we beating on it?

I think both of them screwed up, one took too long and the heads he sent were not up to par.....he should give a refund. The other had someone else ship something for him and it wasnt done correctly, he should lose some of that refund and he can take up the issue with the people who sent it. He is very quick to say he was 400 miles away, but it doesnt matter. It was shipped on his behalf, so it is his responsibility. Now, before it is thrown in that "it was insured", it is ONLY insured when packaged correctly. If not, I would go down, but a $20 vase, put $5k in insurance on it, and throw it in a box and mail it to anyone......BAM $4980 profit.

Think a little bit. WHY were the head being sent back to him? It was because Nick screwed up the heads!
"I listed the cam bore/cam journal clearances for one head, other head is similar. This clearance problem will reduce oil supply to the shortblock in a large way and flood the cylinder head with oil as well as reduce oil pressure at all bearing positions.
The cam journals were sanded which causes a belly in the middle and high on the ends, the bores were sanded creating out of round and taper. This was done to allow the cams to turn on a badly warped cylinder head. I cannot install these heads at L&M. You may install them or have others do it. I also listed the valve seat leakage which is higher than normal."

People are not going to stop doing business with MHS over this ridiculous "incident". The only side anyone is hearing is the vehicle owners side, not Nicks. There are 2 sides to every story. I'd give him my money tomorrow if I were in the market for his products. This isn't going to sway anybody's opinion. MHS is a top notch company and their work is unsurpassed, this has been proven time and time again.

All of you guys are missing the point. Nick sent out crap heads. Goes to show he doesn't inspect them before shipping. His heads always make less power then everybody elses. I always thought it was because he sucks at porting but maybe the heads are just garbage. I would never put anything he touches on my engine.

deh...

not trying to start anymore argueing or anything like that...ive delt with nick once myself and it was smooth...i get the issue that went on here and why the guy was mad. But for everyone that doesnt know, this is a response from nick to the OP,

Btw, the refund check in the FULL AMOUNT for the OP left yesterday as the engine builder and I have come to an agreement. He should have it either Friday or Saturday.

i am in no way a Nick nuthugger or anything else like that.. i could care less what he, or any other company does...just wanted to post that so everyone else could see.

Like I said earlier, there are 2 sides to every story.

If I order a new Whirlpool refrigerator and find out the evaporator fan motor doesn't work and have an appliance repair company return the refrigerator to Whirlpool and due to poor packaging by the appliance repair company the door breaks off, why is that Whirlpools fault? Why should Whirlpool be forced to pay for a mistake made by the appliance repair company?

OP has every reason to be upset that the heads that were sent out were not finished properly, but OP has no right to get pissed at Nick for not giving a full refund after sending back heads that were damaged during shipping due to poor packaging. If anything, I'd have gone after the engine builder/machine shop for not packaging them appropriately before going on an internet rampage trying to ruin a mans business. Sounds like there was poor customer service from MHS AND from the engine builder.

I wonder if posts in this thread will be deleted like the UPR threads... or perhaps that only happens when the company conducting bad business is a site sponsor

MHS just needs to pad the pocket of the site owner with money, parts or other "things" for this to happen.

I think pocket lint does the trick... Seems pretty easy.
