Agreed, and this is why regardless of the "sales channel", I have lost respect for Comp due to their response.

Zero acknowledgment that they let a faulty part out the door and zero interest in...

Perhaps some of my point was missed. I am returning these, and will be made whole, so no issue there.

I received a set of rockers with 15 good ones and 1 not usable. Why would I bother engaging...

I resisted watching the video because I assumed I would get irritated. IMO 90% of YouTube videos are just attempts to get some attention and are inaccurate or misleading.

I used one in my 12 bolt build instead of a crush sleeve. My rationale was that with a nut that I cut the locking portion off of, it would be easier to take apart a few times while I got bearings set...

The OP mentioned his pistons have a -14 Cc dish. Is he talking about the pistons with 8 valve reliefs or something different?

I have 71 doors on my car which should be the same, and they do indeed have a crash bar the full length about 1/2 way up. I can't imagine how you could cut them out without either damaging the door...

Baffles me why the makers of the full repro quarter don't stamp partial panels from the same dies for behind and in front of the wheel opening. Even if they were 30% of the price of the full quarter,...

Me too. Sucky.

When I ordered, I kept adding to my cart until it would no longer increase. There were 3 sets in stock when I ordered the one I ultimately bought. The next morning there was still 1...

I can't comment on the Moraine 100 vs 400 (other than I believe the 400 were the better bearings), but having a mix of bearing makers in an engine doesn't bother me. This is exactly what I needed to...

No flex agent.

Use SPI epoxy, it is flexible. Many other epoxies are not.

You can use the 3M repair material under or over the SPI epoxy.

The SPI epoxy block sands very well. On my front...

I have 15x7" wheels with 255/60-15 tires all around.

If you like Rally 2's and aren't stuck on original wheels with specific stamped codes, I wouldn't consider 14's. Like Bman said, tire choice...

I will do that. The main thing is that the tick was there once at warm idle, and was consistent after driving it. Now it is gone, so once I get the starter fixed I will take a drive and put it...

Crap, you are right, I got mixed up with what caused it. Perhaps the sewing machine sound was there all along and now that the tick is gone, I am noticing it? If it is "normal" for roller rockers to...
