After looking at the fab'd aluminum valve cover options, I decided to step up to the plate and pay the money and buy the best - the highly recommended Strelka valve covers.

I'm not sure at this point if I am happy with that decision, given that they are now over a month late from the originally quoted date. I have also been charged the full price to my credit card. Has anyone talked to Mark? (he hasn't returned my calls over the last week). I did tell Mark I wasn't in a big hurry (but that was prior to the originally quoted date)

I'll give Mark the benefit of the doubt that perhaps he is on vacation or incredibly busy. Have others had this experience? Should I hold out or request my money back?

One thing I have learned the hard way is NEVER tell someone your in no hurry to recieve what ever you have purchased. That could come back to haunt you. Always be firm on a date.

I have not talked to Mark personally, and I hope this is not true, however, I was told by a vendor at the All GM Carlisle this past weekend, that Strelka is going out of business. The vendor sells Stelkas valve covers so I would think he would know what he was talking about. I do not know for a fact this is true, just passing along what I was told by a well known vendor.

I talked to Mark last week. he told me he was finishing up on mine. I ordered mine back in March and am still waiting. He only does this on the side. He has a day job as a machinist.

Thanks for the information. I trust that Mark is going to make this all right and finish up what he has comitted to. He has generally been good to deal with. Based on all the feedback on his product and service I didn't think twice on ordering, not sure how I would have predicted this one.

I talked to Mark yesterday. He has had some family health issues (ugh...). He apologized (as did I) for the misunderstanding. He'll be shipping the covers within the next week. Can't wait to get my covers!
