4 Valves per cylinder ?
Discussion
This sort of petty tittle tattle is the one thing that annoys me about PH and usually very subjective posters.
I doubt anyone can name me a company that hasn't had issues with customer complaints about service, component quality, mistakes etc etc at some point
and some of those that have are well known and 'respected'. It's all down to perception and how the customer and service provider deals with the situation.
Everybody makes mistakes and most people are allowed to move on and be judged by their current work but some people for some reason have to hang on to the past and makes snide remarks and innuedno about things where they probably don't even know the full story. There is always two sides to a story and that is why the N&S rule on here exists, it's very easy for one side of a story to be taken as the full truth and become accepted despite there being another side.
I'm sure many people here work directly with clients and customers and as we all know some of those can be (putting it politely)a real PITA so why is it always accepted in these pages that the customer is the one ALWAYS in the right?
My personal opinion is that a company should be judged by it's current work and as far as I'm aware all the 'names' and some up and coming ones in the business at the moment (not just engine builders) have/are receiving good feedback so why don't we work on that basis till we hear new stories to the contrary eh?

Here here
There are lots of main stream car companies and there repairers
That also have had terrible pasts
Yet very few people remember those times
One problem I see with the tvr community is that it's a small
And all the bad things get bounced around and the good things aren't mentions
And people tend to spend a huge amount of money
I've heard not so good things about power/race proved/austec and so on
As well as good things
If we are talking about who I think you are
I have heard fantastic things about them

Not sure what's going on here but you have to give anyone their due who is going to try something different,in any walk of life.Who ever it is,has,or is going to be investing a lot of time & no doubt lots of money in TRYING to get this to work.It may not.But at least they are trying.I doubt who ever it is is going to be taking deposits just yet...so let's wish em luck.Good luck with the project & I hope if nothing else,the developer enjoys their creation,even if it doesn't lead to a commercial venture.
This engine is being funded by the companies and not a customer
So if it doesn't work or has reliability issues then no one will be out of pocket
Except the company involved
This is an old project that some one is good enough to bring back to reality
With a revision of heads the old jag heads needed an monumental amount of work
And was deemed not viable option
Although some of the party's involved at that time (and you know who you are) it was a good solution to begin with

What happened to your last engine build ? Did they re re build it for free?
Last heard it was being used a a coffe table as its being re built(longest ever) in some Bloke's house & his missus if fed up with the mess in the kitchen,so yes it will be soon when they can get little Johnny to find the ball bearing's he was using as marbles back.

Bang on there mate !
Asking who built an engine is generally deemed important regarding ajp's and S6's.
Don't really think all this aggressive defence is going to help the debate. Puts us back to 2004 time.
Back to the topic, I can't wait to see this up and running. I guess that there was a mark 1 version (jag based) going by the posts above and that that one didn't work out, this one seems much more hopeful. I wish them luck.

I agree it's important but speculation until something is properly announced is fun but not helpful if posts hark back to previous times that really are no longer relevant, that was the point I was making.Don't really think all this aggressive defence is going to help the debate.

I'm not sure the Jag version was ever properly assembled, I think it was more theoretical/finger in the air stuff that was close but no cigar whereas the current work I believe is more or less right out of the box as I understand.

I was told the mk1 was running 500bhp.
Anyway I can't wait to see a 500 plus bhp ajp. Bring it on, let the engine do the talking.
