    On another forum I frequent, Eagle stuff has a bad name from the professional engine builders. Here are two direct quotes that are representative of the mindset of builders......

    "quality issues they can have makes it not worth me buying from them anymore."

    "I send 90% of my Eagle cranks out to be turned because of journal sizing and geometry problems. I have also had several that had undersized snouts. Scat cranks are almost always to my liking, with no problems."
    Machine Shop Tom
    Professional engine builder

    Keith doesn't much like the ProComp heads either......
    "They are good for a stock rebuild, or to say you have aluminum heads. I have had 2 sets through my shop. They will be the only 2 sets i ever sell... If you want a head that makes power you are out of luck..."
