Looking at the dyno sheet that Naylor had you post, my engine is way down on power from the beginning compared to that 1059 hp engine.

You side stepped answering my question. Rons dealer or not doesnt mean he knew what he was doing. You also may of confirmed you have a fuel issue the entire time, a fuel pump issue possible if it was down a bunch. Id like to see the true dyno sheet not the printed copy that you have that shows very little data. Data dont lie

There is no fuel pressure issue's,if they were we would have corrected them on the dyno!

I have a similar to hammertimes :?: , i've never seen a flow/pressure chart from ron's, when you send a pump in to get repaired or flowed they only say they are in spec's.
A couple yrs ago i was helping a friend with a 512" Ford motor setup a 4.1 toilet bowl on his car. It kept laying down about 7,000 RPM's and would only run 5.80 in his 2400 lb T'bird. As i said earlier i donot use Ron's pumps. I sold my friend a DSR -1 pump and the car immediately went 5.62,5.64,and 5.65 before it broke the rearend housing in half, just saying. Also what size nozzles are you running :?: They should be .038's or .040's with that many inches. Either one or both of these issues could cause the motor to be down on power.
Again that's why i run DSR or Enderle pumps i know exactly what the flow rate is and what the pressure is.

A fresh of eyes could actually help you Billy. If you have egt and/or o2 numbers for the entire pulls, we could put that issue to rest right quick. David is "the man" for running alcohol and Ron's stuff and will help you if you let him. I know you are certain that it's not a fuel system issue, but an opinion from someone who knows his stuff and doesn't have a dog in this fight might be a good idea......

Hi Zip,
We had a Ron's dealer who sells, installs & runs them on his own car come & look at the dyno results that showed the fuel pressure, EGT and CO2. They were all within specs, if there had been anything questionable on the fuel system we would have corrected it right then. The engine made the most power with #40 nozzles and #86 pill in the return line, timing at 32 degrees. This setup made the most power any leaner or richer resulted in a loss of hp. In other words, we fine tuned the fuel system & timing to get the most hp possible.

O'K that answers my both my :?: on the fuel system, the nozzles are right and the bypass pill is just about in the middle of where it should run with a -1 pump, kinda makes me wonder about the cam, maybe too small or advanced/retarded too much. I've never built or ran a motor that big, so i don't know what they work best, my biggest motor ever was 540 blown alcohol Rodek so i don't have any answers. SORRY

Clearly ... I see you correct a lot on the dyno, anyone that pulled a big engine like that one time and seen it lay over at 6000 anything rpms wouldnt of pulled it twice without looking for that issue ...

I can now see why no one would want to help you ... you side step questions .. give know it all answers ... clearly u got it all figured out :!:

I have answered your questions, not side stepping anything. I had one of the best dyno operators with the latest newest dyno that was also good and used to dynoing engines with Ron's terminators & flying toilets on alcohol. There is no fuel pressure problem whatsoever. However, if you are so sure there are fuel pressure problems - PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!! I will be happy to bring my engine and dyno sheets & put the engine on the dyno, if there is a fuel pressure problem that you can correct and pick the engine up 153 hp like it should be you win the money, if not, I win the money.

Then show the data off this so called latest and greatest dyno... It will have a sheet that shows o2's, Pretty simple..

How much money you offering .. I get to bring it to a dyno of my choice to make it show 1100 ... easy to flip a dial and make a dyno show what you want, of course you have it in your head that every dyno in the country reads the exact same number and cant be changed ... I can now see why your getting zero help from Naylor ... you act like this to people who offer you advice or help ... your defensive .. and pretty much a prick about it, to anyone and everyone who has anything to say but your 100% right ...

That is what we are thinking the to camshaft is small,(I will post the cam card tomorrow if it will help don't have the time now)are it is not degreed in right.Also we are concerned about the heads valve job ect. I would be interested in seeing what you think about the cam size.THANKS!

Common courtesy and common sense would of went a long ways in this whole deal ... and I think you proved Naylors point of you having neither ... Im done ! :!: :roll:

shawnp 01-07-2013 02:45 AM

Dead on, Dave. A few adjustments and corrected factors and that thing will be 1100+ in 2-3 pulls, even with an average dyno operator.

There is no other negative feedback on Naylor or proaction heads. There is positive feedback on proaction as a seller.

You can keep beating your dead horse here if you want, but until you decide that your done in a pissing match and would like to get help with your combo then don't expect a lot of replies. Your attitude toward those that can help you isn't going to get you far. :roll:

Any and all legitimate help/advice is appreciated. I don't think there will be any trouble in anyone seeing I have been cooperative and as courteous in replies to everyone.

I think this is obvious to everyone there are a few on here that likes to do nothing more than run their mouths and try to divert the attention from the matter at hand. The attitude shown toward me will be the attitude shown in return.

If the ones of you believe all the BS about the fuel system, the tune-up or the average dyno operator can get 1100hp out of my engine in 2-3 pulls by a legitimate shop, THEN PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!!! At the start I offered the ones of you who were foolish enough to believe that your choice of 2 of the most reputable engine builders/dyno operators in the Southeast. All you have to do is pick the one of your choice & put your money where your mouth is!!

Now that the holidays are over, I will try and respond to what’s been said by Mr. Humphries in this Forum. Foremost, Bill got the motor he paid for! Before building him the motor, many conversations were had, estimates drawn up, and e-mails sent. The 1100hp motor with Brodix 395MC heads, shaft rockers, Profiler tunnel ram intake, and belt drive cost $1400.00+ and was beyond his budget. Working within his $11500.00 budget, I offered a 632ci using Dart 400m heads which I would work on for no cost to make the most hp possible. If he had the time to wait on the heads to come in, and for me to do the work on them, I would do it for $11500, and it would run excellent times in his dragster. Once the build was started, Bill called several times checking on progress and was updated on what parts came in and how the head work was coming. We sent him pictures of the heads so he could see the work I had already done. His response was he couldn’t tell any work had been done, we were beyond our 4-6 week time agreement, and he wanted 1100hp. What? That was not agreed on for this motor! Apparently all the previous conversations about us helping him out by building him the most motor for $11500 went in one ear and out the other. Once we started the build no time frame was guaranteed, I was doing the work on the heads on my time at no cost! And YES there were extras I didn’t charge him for (Head work, intake work, drilled intake for injectors, and upgrade to Moroso dragster oil pan @ no cost to him). At this point to make things right I offered him a deal on a complete short block for $7148, this way he could save his money for a top end that would ultimately make him the 1100 hp he was chasing. He declined that offer because he said he was getting such a good deal on the motor I was in the process of making now. I stopped all other work in the shop to get this motor finished for him so he could pick it up ASAP. No the motor was not run on our dyno before it left. First, he wanted the motor now! Secondly, due to his attitude, and all the prep it would have taken to get ready to run (his vac pump, mandrel, carb linkage and brackets all came off his Mopar), and doing this at my expense, I had no problem not running this motor for him. (It took him 3 weeks to get the engine ready to dyno at the shop that did run it).
A 632 ci motor with 400m heads, tunnel ram with two Rons terminators on alcohol will make 1050hp. The Dyno numbers he posted look low. For a motor to drop off like it did it appears to have fuel issues to me. This motor should turn 7500 rpm with this big top end. I know this engine will run great in a dragster, I wish he would put it in and see for himself.
Intake gasket issue- The Dart 400m head has a raised runner. The intake took 1.120 and 1.060 gaskets we used 3M to glue together, it should not have leaked. If this thickness was not put back on, the intake runners will not line up with the head runners. Maybe his is his issue?
Oiling problem- I never had a BBC that had oiling problems to the top end. Maybe they didn’t prime it? If they had primed it they should have noticed that the rockers were not getting oil then, not when they were running it.
He doesn’t like my shop? I have been in business, at the same location, for 24 years. Everyone is welcome to visit. Here is a list of some of the equipment I have in my 2400sq. ft. machine shop. Sunnen VR 6000 valve grinder, Serdi valve grinder, Pro-Bal balancer, 7’ Magnaflux inspection machine, Sunnen rod machine, 54” Victor lathe, Super Flow flow bench, Sunnen CV616 honing machine, Quik-Way honing machine, Sunnen line hone machine, Rottler boring machine, DCM with BHJ decking fixture, Scledum CVN machine, 54” Bridgeport, twin brake Stuska dyno.

As for the 3 weeks before getting the engine dynoed, I had to wait for my turn in line! Thanks to Jimmy Naylor's poor workmanship it cost an extra $348.76, parts & labor, another $80+ for new oil & filter, where he put 2 intake gaskets instead of the proper one-one had slipped leaking water into the engine. Everything including the extra trip cost me over $1,000.00 for work that should have already been done by Naylor. He refused to reimburse the $348.76 plus oil & filter to correct his poor workmanship much less the $1,000.00. When priming the engine that is where we found the oiling problem to the rockers. We cranked it & run it long enough to make sure it was not getting oil to the rockers. HAD THE DYNO OPERATOR NOT DISCOVERED THIS THE ENGINE WOULD NOW BE NOT JUST LOW ON HORSEPOWER BUT JUNK! The dyno work was done by one of the best men in the Southeast with the latest state-of-the-art dyno. It monitored the EGT on each cylinder at head; CO2 in each collector; fuel pressure; oil pressure & oil temp; water temp; if there would have been any kind of fuel pressure problem we would have seen it. Jimmy Naylor, do you really think anyone is going to believe the vacuum pump, fuel pump & terminators(bolt on like a carb) were Mopar parts and would not fit on a Chevrolet?
Everyone else on here can see there is a problem with this engine, and instead of addressing the problem all you have done is make excuses. WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THIS??? You can not solve a problem by making excuses.
Everyone has seen the first & final invoice and on both invoices you put 1100+hp.
Then you try to scam us with an invoice you say you sent with the Head Hunter 395 cfm heads and that was the 1100 hp engine, but you had to substitute with the Dart 400 Big M heads to stay in my budget.
If everyone would please go back up & look at his bogus invoice you will see the engine build with the Brodix Head Hunter Heads is for a 600 cu in engine, it even says it on the invoice, the second invoice, the engine you say I chose because of budget, is a 632 cu in engine build - Jimmy Naylor this is just more inconsistent lies coming from you.
Instead of all those lies would it have not been easier to have said "Looks like we have a problem, let's see what we can do to correct it."


This was Naylor's response and Billy's response. Is there more we are looking for? About all of Billy's posts contain about the same info and Naylor's info is all about the same. It's 7 pages of the same stuff. Billy rants, Naylor responds, Billy calls him a liar and the cycle starts again.

Again..... only true way to solve this is put it on Naylor's dyno and see if it puts out the #'s that Billy wants or what Naylor says it should make.

mrmopar622 01-13-2013 11:02 AM

I have been holding off on a reply. I was thinking maybe if I did not put Naylor into a defensive position, he might respond positively. I think I have proved my point - it is not what it was advertised to be nor what I paid for. When I first emailed Naylor about the engine problems & lack of horsepower, I told him I thought things should be made right, if nothing else, I should receive some form of compensation.
So, I am putting that back out there again. Something we could both be somewhat satisfied with, and everyone could see that Naylor stands behind his work. Who knows, that might improve his business.

My $.02 on this reply. If I were the builder no way would I compensate for someone else to do repairs. How can he be sure something wasn't done to the motor after it left his shop? When it leaves his shop it's "as is". I know an engine is suppose to be a good quality running engine, but once you take it somewhere else (without discussing it with builder because some of them do work with each other) you're on your own.


It benefits both buyer and builder to have good relationships with each other to be able to resolve issues like these on racing engines.
If not this is what happens and at this point you don't want to deal with him and he doesn't want to deal with you.

The only ending solution for this is to work this out with Naylor and him fix and tune this motor or you're just going to have to deal with another builder and expect him to charge you.

mrmopar622 01-15-2013 06:21 AM

Rabbit,
Here is my $.02 reply, what goes around comes around. When you sit back & gloat at someone else's misfortune, It Will Come Back To Haunt You!!

It used to be when we bought race parts they were ready to use, out of the box. Somehow that evolved into, you should be happy we build the race parts for you, we build hundreds of thousands parts there is no way we can check each one individually. If you want perfection you need to take the parts to a machine shop and have perfection made. Now, as per Rabbit says, racing parts have no guarantee. If you take them to a machine shop/engine builder even with their guarantee when you pay them their asking price and leave their shop, if it is not Right or what you paid for, you can expect to pay another machine shop/engine builder to make it Right or what you paid for in the beginning.
I don't know about the rest of you but that is unacceptable to me. By it being a racing part/race engine, I do not expect a 100,000 mile warranty, BUT I DO EXPECT IT TO BE WHAT IT WAS ADVERTISED AND WHAT I PAID FOR AND MOST IMPORTANTLY RIGHT!

As individual racers, we have very little power, but as United Racers we have Great Power. As racers ourselves, we need to look out for our fellow racers. We should all be thankful to Racing Junk for providing us with this site, but it is a very large site and impossible for them to police everything on their own. When we see a illegitimate machine shop/engine builder advertising and selling their products on here taking advantage of our fellow racers, shouldn't each & everyone of us report them to Racing Junk and ask that their advertisement/ads be removed from the site, or should we just sit back like Rabbit and gloat at everyone's misfortune?

Then hire an attorney and get your satisfaction. It's real apparent that your dead horse isn't going to get up and run soon.

Very good point about united racers, however, you are the only one on here with an issue with this user. The only other feedback is positive.

You want RJ to do something about it, then see above about the attorney. They are not just going to randomly remove ads or users based on a he said/she said postings. You will need to something showin you won a fraud case and then it is possible they may consider looking at that user. Not much they can do when the user creates a new account either.

As for your comment about gloating at misfortune or sitting back, no one has done that here so I would be cautious at pointing finger and making such accusations to the members of this forum. Rabbit did all he could to help you and is giving you a 100% honest opinion.

Opinions are like A**holes, everyone has one. It seems like your opinion of yourself you know everything, everyone else is wrong, you have all the right answers. Where is all this positive feedback for Naylor you keep referencing? I have yet to see any.
As for my honest opinion of you I could give a sh*t less what YOUR opinions are.
However, I am interested in hearing some of the other racers opinions.

So Rabbit is a gloatter that sits back and does nothing, Hammertime got jumped on by you and I'm an asshole. Got it. This is getting easier to see why Naylor wiped his hands clean.

mrmopar622 01-15-2013 09:12 AM

You must not have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Looks like Naylor started off as a legitimate business since these posts are from 2009 and April, 2012. Looks like his work has started slipping, could it be him or his workers? Do you think the reason for his lack of posts is he is spending all his time trying to right the ship?

gearhead1011 01-15-2013 09:38 AM

I don't post on this stuff much and I certainly don't have a dog in this fight but there are a couple things I will chime in on. I don't doubt that mrmopar662 thinks he didn't get what he paid for and I'm sure naylor feels he delivered as much or more than what was promised. This issue is all about perspective. I have learned from the 30 years that I have been in business that all jobs are not always perfect and some customers can't be satisfied no matter what. As far as I know in all that time there were maybe 3 customers that left my shop that were not satisfied and one of those had nothing to do with the job that I did for him.

IMHO mrmopar662 would seem more credible if he didn't rant and get so defensive toward anyone that doesn't agree with him. You also have to consider the motive of another engine builder that did the follow up work. If he feels Naylor is a competitor he might exaggerate or just flat out lie about his competitor's build. He would have no motivation to make Naylor look good and I would guess the customer let his negative feelings about the product show to the 2nd engine guy. As the others on here stated the numbers on a dyno can easily be manipulated. I had my dyno work done by a guy that said his numbers would be about 6% less than what most dynos show because he uses a more realistic calculation factor than most. He said he wasn't interested in trying to make someone feel good about big HP numbers, he wanted to give his customers real data. The numbers he gave me were 50 HP less than what I expected but the build performed like I expected in the car. If you use the calculators it indicates the higher HP level according the ET and MPH. Again as the others said, put it in the car and see what it does. There is nothing wrong with gluing intake gaskets together to achieve the desired thickness, I have seen it done and done it myself without problems.

When you attack a business' credibility as has been done in this thread you put the business owner on the defensive and remove their motivation to help you out because if they help you now it looks like they were wrong and did it just because you called them out on it. I had a guy pull that on me once. After that I withdrew my offer of help and sent him on his way. In my business I have taken care of problems that were not my fault just as a matter of keeping good customer relations. It's amazing how much additional business you can pick up by helping your customer out. I am a lot more likely to help a customer out that approaches me in a pleasant manner than one that doesn't. I don't price war with my competitors. Maybe in the race engine business that is necessary but not in mine. I have found that people that price shop are the hardest to please. If they tell me they can get it done cheaper I tell them that's OK in a sincere manner. I sell quality and cut rate prices aren't part of that. In a lot of instances I will see that customer later to correct the cut-rate job they got.

From what I have read in this thread I wouldn't be concerned about buying from Naylor racing. I doubt that I ever will because I have a a machine shop that is local to me that does great work and is easy to deal with. I might be able to find a cheaper one but I trust these guys. I do my own assembly.

Speaking of azzholes, you are starting to sound just like one. You wont last much longer on this forum talking like that and any opinion YOU have from this point on probably wont mean jackshit to anyone on here. So just keep shooting off your mouth and see what it gets you...

Speaking of A**holes, you are one. This is a user feedback & scam watch forum. As for your opinion, you know where you can stick that.

Same to you buddy, no wonder Naylor wont come back, you probably remind him of ex-wife that just nagged, nagged, nagged.
My opinion is it would not have mattered who built your motor, you would have never been happy. People on here tried to help you and give you their opinions (when you asked) and all you did was turn to name calling.
So in the end it seems that all that matters is just YOUR opinion and nobody elses? Take it somewhere else and leave this section for people who actually have problems...

This is the user feedback & scammer watch forum for problem solving. That means for people with usable information not fools like you who only want to run their mouth.

Harbone 01-15-2013 11:58 AM

I have solved a lot of people problems on this feedback forum over the years but the people that you are bashing are guys that have also been on here for years helping people. When they tried to help you and give you opinions, you turned to name calling. I wont stand for that, especially towards Rabbit, Hammertime or shawnp. I figure it wont be long before this post gets locked so...

You say you have solved many problems in the past, you may have, but you have not done anything constructive here!! You are the one coming on here & doing the bashing, are you some old man that does not have anything to do but sit around and put your nose where it does not belong? I see you have a lot of posts, others may have tolerated your smart mouth, but don't think for an instant I will tolerate it!!
If someone has any input to this subject I will try to answer them the best I can, if they don't understand my answer all they have to do is ask & I will try again!! If someone posts something & I have questions I will ask them directly.

Harbone 01-15-2013 12:22 PM

There is nothing constructive to do here and you have been bashing people for the last couple of pages. Shitz just getting old. People tried to give you answers but you wont accept them, all you want to do is keep crying, bitching and name calling. Time to put this one to rest...
