BIG Thanks to Dwayne Porter - 01/17/19 03:06 AM

Got my cam today. Wanted to thank Dwayne for taking the time to discuss my combo and specing me out a cam. It will be a little bit blocks at Hensleys in Knoxville to be machined. Will fill in the blanks as it comes together. Thanks again Dwayne

Yeah the guy was great to talk to. We talked about the cam for awhile then just some other engine stuff. Just had a great couple conversation with him. Pleasure to do business with people like him.

Dwayne is a great guy, very sharp and doesn't mind sharing his knowledge.

I agree, but I'm biased, since I've been dealing with PRH for over 15 years. Never a hesitation on my part to recommend him to others for cylinder head work, cams, etc.

Dwayne is one of the very few vendors here that are here pretty much every day and shares his vast knowledge with us weather we spend $$$ with him or not.I have so much respect for him,,IMO he's right up there with Monty and Dan that always were willing to share may they both RIP bow bow bow

He's always treated me right. Real quickly he went from being just another dude on a car message board, to being a very highly valued advisor for crucial decisions.

Someday when things are slow, or when somebody buys me a beer or whatever
I will share the story of how Dwayne helped me save one of MP's product lines from death.

Thanks guys!!
I appreciate the positive feedback.

It’s nice being able to take a little time for some car talk once in a while, and I feel like I’ve made some friends through these forums over the years.

zippy.....I think you’re going to have to refresh my memory on that one. work

Yep, Dwayne is a great guy to do business with. And Like BradH, I've been using PRH for about 15+ years as well. Always pleased with his port work, products and technical advice.

I feel bad b/c I call and talk to Dwayne to bounce ideas off him a lot more than I call him to order parts. He's always been a huge help and I've been extremely happy w/ everything I've gotten from him.
One day when we're up visiting my wife's family in Massachusetts, I'm gonna drive a few hours over to Dwayne's shop and keep him from getting any work done one afternoon. biggrin beer

You cant ask to work with a nicer and smarter man then Dwayne. I was surprised how much time he took to talk on the phone with me about my combo as he will help you all he can. A first class act all the way in my book and I thank him. Ron

I'd agree, Dwayne is a very good guy to use for anything engine related for sure.

Are you insane? If I have any "claim to fame(?)" it's that I (a) ask a sh!tload of really long questions and (b) let everyone know how I've screwed up as warnings to others.

Dwayne guide me through giving him enough information that allowed him to pinpoint the core issue that led the roller bearings in only my T&D exhaust rockers failing. The intake rockerarm bearings were fine. It was a bit baffling until he quickly identified what was going wrong and pinpointed the root cause.

He freshened up my heads, spec'd me a mechanical roller cam and helped me design and spec a reverse dome piston to drop my compression 2 points and retain the same weight as the original 12 to 1 slugs. The motor has never run and rev'd so smooth.

All this over the phone. He is a true resource with a wealth of knowledge and great customer service.

Dwayne did a set of heads for me, and then answered question after question on my engine build. Great guy for sure.
