I have had excellent work done by Eric Gorr.
http://www.eric-gorr.com/index.php/s...troke-services According to his web site his prices look a bit lower than RB as well. |

Eric has some books out worth a read seemed like a great guy online back near turn of the century. Glad to hear he's still going.

I personally have seen screw up's from Hooper racing who builds race snowmobile engines. I had a buddy last year who's piston hit the head because the bore diameter of the head was 2mm less than the actual bore. He sent the heads back to him to be re cut and came back the same with 2mm less diameter than the bore. The third time was the charm and he got it right. Mistakes get made even by the pro's. Any time you have engine work done pay attention to what they did at assemble to make sure they did not make a mistake. Any reputable shop will stand behind there work. |

In the case that I am aware of, it took more than a reasonable amount of effort to get Eric Gorr to stand behind his work. e.g. he wouldn't pick up the phone until block caller id was used when calling. To a reasonable person, it would appear that he wasn't picking up the phone because he didn't want to deal with it or stand behind his work. A member here sent Eric Gorr a motor for rebuild a few years back. When it wasn't turned around in a timely manner - I don't think it is an understatement to say that this customer was berated and denigrated by Eric Gorr. This is usually not a good way to build trust and goodwill with your client base. And yes, everybody makes mistakes - it happens. But in this case, given the situation, I feel a definite need to warn people. I'll give Ron a call when he gets back from his vacation. Web page says he is celebrating his 69th birthday. Maybe he just wants to scale things back... jeff

Screw ups or no. Eric Gorr will never see any of my money. When I built my KLX motor I contacted him and long story short, his customer service sucks. I don't care how good a builder you are.
While I do think his quality took a bit of a dive when he started hiring people, vs doing the work himself. But that was several years ago. There are many happy customers. I just will not be one.

As far as RB goes, I, and everyone that I am aware of, has had customer service so good that it is almost surreal, combined with turn around and shipping times so fast it doesn't seem possible.
Seems odd to drop services for just one make, I wonder what the reasoning could be behind that?
