 |
|
It's been awhile, as a mater of fact last November 2006, during CC 10
that I talked to Mark about doing my heads. He told me to just scrape
off the rough stuff and ship em. Told me then I was number 10 in the
Q. I told him I was in no hurry but wanted him to do his magic to these
95hp heads which had some broken bolts and bad exhaust pipes etc. All
this took place over the phone, I have never met Mark face to face.
This week the heads arrived and they were in two boxes and packed very
well. I opened them up and took some pictures to show you guys just
what kind of work this guy does. I must say I am very pleased with the
results.
I don't please all that easy. A little of my history, 10 years as a
machinist in the Chevrolet Engineering Center / Powertrain Engineering
prototype shop. I do know good work and Mark at Falcon Automotive is
doing excellent work. Recommended!
The before and after pictures are here:

The files are large, about a CD's worth for each picture. You have been
warned.

Can someone please post contact information for

Falcon?
WW mentions them, but I cannot find an address, phone
number or web link on his site. Google searches come
up with nothing. They must be like Castillo's
crankshaft service, word of mouth only.

Jim,
I had the same experience trying to find that info. Finally found it
on WW's website in the 7 Dec 2005 Suppliers Update. The contact info
for Mark Petniunas of Falcon Automotive is shown as:
2043 S Fish Hatchery Road
Oregon, WI 53575
(608) 835-3317
I think it should have read Fitchburg rather than Oregon in the address.

Thats the right address and phone number. Oregon, WI is where I shipped to and it all worked out.
