[Shotimes] update on my '93

[Justin Schick]

I agree with the large company assertion and the others with comments
about mass produced engines.

I know a couple of brothers that bought engines from O'Rielly. Both
350's (one for a Cutlass, one for an S-10). You would think with an
engine so common they'd have the assembly process down to a science, yet
both ended up with variations in rocker arms, rods and pistons, and so
on. It was ridiculous.

Granted most SHO engines haven't been gone through that many times, but
I'd still be wary. The best way to know it's put together right is to
find a local speed shop those in the know utilize and do as much of the
wrenching as you can yourself.

parted 92 - need something?

I was waiting for someone else to say something first
before I jumped in about Jasper.

I have heard some people who were not satisfied with
them. My take is that with any large company, there
are always going to be the happy customers and the
ones who complain. However, its the people with the
negative experiences that have something to say
(rightfully so) and it usually sticks in your mind.

Bill and I were talking about this earlier and he
reminded me that some gen3 SHO guys bought Jasper
engines when cams were failing. It was a long time ago
but perhaps someone can chime in about those engines
if they are in the know?
