Hey, I would certainly defer to your experience, mine is limited to a couple diesel cylinder heads, one on a engine of mine and a couple installed on other folks engines. My experience is they answer the phone and get back to you with any question, everything was shipped well and on time without a hassle, and they are upfront about costs. I can’t offer much about the quality control other than I’ve got about 50 K on my 603 remanufactured head without any problem so far.

But I for one appreciate you weighing in on the issue as I don’t recall others having any problems with Metric, but most people would never get a chance to ever know anything more than their own experience with their own engine I’d suppose. You obviously have a much broader perspective particularly with the gasoline engines based on your business dealing with them.

Thoughts or recommendations on a shop that you do use wouldn’t be ignored by most and certainly not by me. I’m in complete agreement with your philosophy of paying more to have fewer problems in the long run, I do work on other folk’s vehicles at times and the hassle of having a major problem to save a few dollars is a very poor business practice.
