Default DH-Racing build

Has anyone ever had any personal experience with these guys???

I can get a really good deal on a head package from them....4 angle valve job, p&p, billet cams, dual valve springs/titanium retainers and 400$ discount to send in my head (stock B16a).

Just want to know if they are reputable

If you search, you'll find plenty of info, most of which is not very flattering.
I am, of course, assuming the DH stands for dave hickman.

Just try dave hickman OR look here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=650113 OR maybe search for SOHC motor stuff i think thats what he "specializes" (sp?) in. OR this one was posted last week https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1205166

somewhat

but it seems like to me it's just a bunch of bitching and moaning going on in those threads

Everyone was saying that he has blown up engines and all this...but never proved it.

Still "iffy" on dhr

If I do decide to go with their head package and something goes wrong, I have one of the best lawyer's in upstate NY but I hope they have some type of refunds/warranty/guarantee or something just to back their **** up so I wouldn't have to take any legal actions just in case.

Anyone have any DIRECT knowledge of Dhr builds???????????

My buddy had them build a b20 bottom end, he said the pistons never sealed right because they bored it to big.

yeah, i see what you mean, but sometimes bitchin and moanin is all you get on the web, its unfortunate, but true. The links weren't supposed to sway your decision to one side or the other, just something for you to think about before you spend your hard earned money
