His only posting has been in his 142" shovel and what's banging in the shop threads.He's one of those high HP fellas that I don't pay much attention to on the site.

Don't tel him how low your compression is and you better not be using copper head gaskets.
Carlos figures he needs them big thick gaskets cause his heads are all machined crooked.

the jewish canadian lol
Ya he did my heads and did a decent job on the valves and seats but my mistake was having him shave the gasket surface. Like I have stated all along he does know what he is talking about but he isn't a machinist and that bites him in the ass. He shaved the heads like 20 thou and when I got them from him the inserts were flush not counter bored, I questioned him on it and he said don't worry about it that doesn't need to be done!!
Well everyone else does it even S&S so there must be something to it....so he said if you want it done go ahead and do it basically........well I dropped over 1200 I was thinking I would get decent heads. Put them on and the back one leaked oil into the cylinder thru return hole. Took the head off mulitple times to change gaskets then realized the surface was not true. Sandpaper on plate glass showed it was all high and low. I got it fairly true by hand and ran them that summer then got some S&S heads.
He is all easy to deal with then as soon as he has the cash and then there are issues he don't want to chat much. He kept telling me that it wasn't the return hole that it was probably a guide issue, I said well it ain't the fuckin guide dude, it is sucking return oil right across the gasket surface.

Well said Hammer. I'm ashamed he's a Canadian acting like a prick on the US site, and from the prairies to boot.

I found Jason's page on Facebook but you have to be a "friend" to see his posts.Your link,Dave,pretty much says the same.---i.e.--"content unavailable"

I'm no expert or even novice on what a good head porting job should look like.From what I can remember the exhaust should be polished for quick exit of gases.WTF is that dark scum scraped up on the guide?Looks like a big potential for an exhaust leak on the left side of the pic.
The cost seems ALOT higher than what I paid a few years ago for my set of stock heads to be ported and alot of stripped threads redone by Donny Peterson at Headquarters.

Re: Sorensen pro Mike
Yup, that looks like cc's work alright. And to listen to him put down others is what really makes me sick. He should have and could have been exposed a long time ago. But it's a big step to ruin someone's business. But should he be allowed to keep screwing people over and over? I don't think so IMO.

Re: Sorensen pro Mike
Yea Jason was pretty unhappy about the whole shipping charge thing...I heard all about it .
He was freaking about the mag as well when he somehow thought I was unhappy with it
But I straightened him out on that never had a problem with my purchase , the install yes lol
that head looks fucked up
