How to delete this topic all together? I was just wondering has anyone heard from him I knew he has some history of health problems that had came up ? Jeff contacted me and I was very satisfied.

I donno but i've repeatedly asked for a bill and have never received one. Last email he said he set them aside and forgot about them. Im not knockin his work!! It just been 2 yrs. i also asked to finish them or send them back. And recently i asked him to just get them to muscle motors so mike can send them back to me with a motor hes finishing for me. That was a month ago. Mike hasnt received them yet either. Im not pissed off i just want my heads back. Finished or not. And i think its fair that people be warned!! Thats it! Again im not knockin his work! Hes one of the best there is!!

I saw this thread when it was first posted and have been thinking about it all day.
I have NO issues with Jeff's work, it's as good as it gets. I had a somewhat similar experience though. Work was promised in 2-3 weeks. After almost 2 months without any communication from MCH I e-mailed him to enquire about my heads. I recieved an e-mail shortly stating they'd be done in a few days. Waited another month without any response from MCH. I finally fired off another e-mail and told him if I didn't hear from him within a couple days I'd be on his doorstep to pick up my heads done or not the following week.(800 miles one way too) He got back to me a couple days later and promised they'd be done middle of the next week. The next Thursday I e-mailed again and he responded saying they'd ship the next day which they were.
I recieved them and the work he did was flawless, and the price was more than fair. The problem was I'd sent them to him for a full port job and instead I got a bowl blend and only picked up 25cfm. I could have just as well have sent them to the local guy for what I got done.
I'm a very patient and understanding man. I understand Jeff is always swamped and I'm more than willing to wait my turn in line. But I know several members here that sent their heads to Jeff long after mine were already at his shop. They had their heads back right away while mine were collecting dust in a corner of his shop. If he didn't want the job in the first place I wish he'd said something up front and I'd contacted another shop.
I wish Jeff well and I hope his health improves, and hope he has a great life. If I need anymore headwork done though I'll be looking somewhere else. Dave

It's been a few years since I had mine done, two sets of Eddys about 1 year apart. Both sets were on my doorstep before the work was even paid for. Maybe I was lucky.
He did the same to my 572-13 heads. Cnc ported them and they arrived before I even paid for them.

Now correct me if i'm wrong  but does Jeff hand ports these heads or he has an cnc program?That probably explain why there's guys that has had there heads in his shop for months.

Hand porting is only needed on the first set. Once the ports are digitized the program is on file and it's mostly a matter of letting the machine do its thing.
I'm pretty sure Jeff also does brand X heads and if he has to hand port every example of every new head that comes out I can see where he gets held up. Just think of all the new SBC heads out there that have to be digitized.
