I love how Big Bert gets in arguments on here and who comes along to bail him out, boost his ego, or make him look reputable? Dear ole Dad HIP HIP HOORAY for OldStroker. Actually both you guys seem like Strokers

 

Along with documented proof the Comp R lifter failure Bret experienced was the fault of the manufacturer.

 

personally i also think its kinda funny that in the 2+ years you have been a member on this board, this is the only thread you have posted in

 

I have a set of Comp R lifters living a happy life in my LT1 car currently. I have used them many, many times in the past. Then again I installed them correctly with the correct preload on them. Has Big Bert ever thought about advertising on CamaroZ28?????

 

That's the ticket... everyone who is posting against BRE are fictitious characters conjured by myself or SSMPSTR. !!!

 

I can give you that this could be valid. No other comment really.

Thanks, been trying to find out more background on the business itself. Other channels turned up nothing. But I'll try with them.

You can believe that I am an alter ego. That's fine with me. But as you stated "the way this place works" or in better terms "the way the internet (forums) can work" a lot can be hard to believe. I suppose that is at least from my perspective - as root in the reasoning for the questions.

Since you've been in the business I'm sure you are also aware of how many people speak of things with no knowledge in the topics at hand. One can just look to all the 'tall fish tales' that are within this industry/hobby/profession about what a car did or did not run to see examples of that.

So its not really unreasonable for a person (potential customer) to ask for credentials in any given area. Take cam designers or head porters for instance, I'm sure there are many more out there like you (not just on the forums) that will claim to have or know what's best. If that were not the case there wouldn't be so many designs to have to choose from in the first place. Everyone can't be right and everyone can't be wrong. This requires study, investigation and substantiation to make a decision.

This is true. But as far as manufacturing goes and supply lines - I actually do know quite a bit about how that part of industry works.

 

UNPOSSIBAL!!! They are JUNK because they are and I can't tell you why, but they just are because I said so, so you must believe me because retainers ACT on the plungers (dear ol' dad must've been absent for that post) just because!

 

Bret, SS isnt the only one changing what hes saying. Would you like me to post our conversation about my LE2 cam? The way I see it you keep changing your story to me so that it works that a cam from you should of always made more power then my off the self. I sent you that cam hoping to get a warrany on it, you said nope it was my fault bad valve/lifter setup. I come back throw in a new cam and go faster. You tell me I couldnt of wiped a billet cam out, it must of been bad from the get go. You send me a cam, I'll take my car to the track the way it is with a off the shelf, video it and post it. Put your cam in go back tape it and post it. I dont really care who or where my stuff comes from, I just trying to haul a$$! I do care when I get the run around or nothing but excuses.

It is kind of funny I guess. Guess this one just came up at the right time for me . :dunno:

 

This post makes you appear delusional AND paranoid.

Are you suggesting you do? Do you make the stuff they run? Educate us.

 

Just hold on 1 minute he has to copy & paste, or type from a Vizard, Reher Morrison, or another accomplished engine build's book

 

Hmm and you wonder why the brain drain of CamaroZ28.com has happened?????? Too many good guys leave this site because of threads like this.... I'm not complaining because all though the "Brethaters" don't realize it they make me money! The other thing they don't realize is people do research before they spend money, and a lot of the time it's easy to just do a search on past posts of a member and find out all you need to know about them.... the "Brethaters" own worst enemy is themselves in that reguard. Let's you figure out their agenda or even that they sure can't make **** run themselves.

Either way I would say my most informative posts on the subject of engines doesn't happen here anymore due to a few bad apples that waste my time. I'd rather spend time on hardcoreLS1.com or speedtalk.com to really get into interesting discussions. Mainly that's due to people being civil and not trying to drum up BS just to try and start things with me.

That guy (Kryckter) currently owns an LS1, but if you read that thread again, you'll see that the post was made on May of 2005 which is long before LE did LS1 heads; those numbers were with on his previous LT1 car. Search for that guy's name, you'll find that he ran an 11.7 @ 118 with a stock cubed LT1 motor with LE2 heads/cam, with stock valves.

 

Jason,

Honestly, I've only seen two billet hyd rollers have issues. You would have to send me a PM to refresh me on WHO you are (real name, address etc..) and when all this happened. Sorry you feel like I gave you an excuse... you seemed convinced that my stuff doesn't run when you underperformend with what seems like a defective part and we called it that. I really can't convice you otherwise what you want to do. I have just never seen a billet cam be the cause of a failure in a hyd roller motor, so something happened but at this point who knows what it was.

I just went out back to the storage part of the shop to look thru my bad cams... I found the other billet that was screwed up, a cast LE2 cam and a billet LE2.2N cam that I believe was yours. Had to be yours, I have no other memory of a wiped out billet core.

I have the cam, I have the serial on it, all I need is to cross reference that to your name and address, then I have no problem doing EXACTLY what you said here.

Shoot me a PM and let's get working on this. I'm always willing to put my name on the line, even if I have zero control of the situation.

Bret

 

If your a real guy then I'm sure we can talk and discuss some things, but I would want the same information on you as you want on me to follow thru with that.
