That is a very good point having your machine shop check the parts.

I am somewhat spoiled because when we ran as a vendor in swap meets in the mid west,we would have first hand encounters with manufacturers.I was in the loop and knew the inside scoop of speed parts manufacturing.

Last couple of days I have been looking hard at Competition Products catalog and they sell the Scat and Eagle stuff,but make it very clear that those are imported parts.Just wow.Sure makes me think there is something to that.
