I've used MCH before and after Jeff's death and they were both gentleman and the headwork was top quality, so i sympathise with Bob's predicament but maybe he needs to stop taking work in for the present. Mick

I know Bob very well and I am not making any excuses for him but he is a 1 man shop and he is very overwhelmed working 14+ hrs seven days a wk. He really needs help but even if he found someone he dosnt have the time to stop and train them. I'm sure he will make things right. Sounds like he knocks out the easy stuff and lets the more difficult jobs sit. Like I said before he has a friends heads intake rockers and money for an NHRA SS going on 4 years. You would think the 440 Source stuff would be a quick and easy job. One setup and knock the heads out.

Well, okay but...if you have so much work than you are putting in 14+ hours, 7 days per week and still not gaining ground then it's time to start saying NO to new work. Or NO to current work and give some projects back. If you're too busy to even COMMUNICATE with a valued customer then you're doing it wrong. My thoughts exactly! Jeff ported my heads back in 2006 and he had them done pretty quick and extremely nice work! Obviously a lot has changed since then. I'd have gone and picked my stuff up in person if they kept them as long as some are saying. I don't understand why someone can't just be honest and say it's gonna be a while instead of promising a date and then going over by a ridiculous amount.

As of today 440 source is still waiting on any communication back from MCH
Also why I dug up this old thread is that Gary at Larry’s Machine is having the same problem
He sent a set of Indy small block heads for Cnc , which Modern already has a program for , but now no communication
Either on answering the phone or email
So is there anyone local to Modern that wants to make some money in stopping by Modern and picking up those heads and shipping them back to CT ??
And yes Larry’s Machine will gladly pay a recovery fee for doing so , send me a PM if interested or able to help
And I am sure Brandon at 440 Source would be interested on the same deal

And I am sure Brandon at 440 Source would be interested on the same deal Yes, we sent Bob at Modern Cylinder head a pallet of 50 Stealth heads to CNC port in April of 2018. That's $25,000 worth of heads. After about a year went by, our phone messages and emails got no response. We offered to just pay to ship them back if he didn't want to do the work, or we were happy to pay him for any of the work he already did, or anything like that. There was just no response. We've gotten calls from customers telling us they have bought a set of CNC ported Stealth heads directly from him, so maybe he is just selling the heads directly and keeping 100% of the money. If anyone is local in the Michigan area and would like to get our heads back (assuming they still are there) we'll throw in a free stroker kit for you.

Sounds like it might be time to file charges and notify the authorities before it’s to late. Something bad may happen to the business like the one in Pa that left people hanging with no parts.

I tried to pick up the heads today. Bob said I could not pick them up, so I asked if I could see the heads to prove he still had them. He said no and that he only had half of the heads and he was going to order the other half next week, which makes no sense. I hope Brandon is able to get something out of this guy. SMH Ut oh....Only has half the heads that 440 sent him?!?!

Don’t ever tell me the mooFarts s RIGHT HERE don’t like drama, suspense and intrigue ! Over EIGHT THOUSAND views !! Witches pLeAsE ! Yep. And it took two years to get to this point. Has any of the affected parties bothered to send registered mail ? Sounds silly in this day and age but I don’t see any mention of that. There is always two sides to every story. I’d like to hear Bob’s.
