Where's Kirk?

[pevans2703]

I am a bit curious as how I should go about getting in touch with Kirk and how much he charges for the cam welds. thumbup

I think Kirk is somewhere in Illinois. Not sure on that, but I do know he was charging 675.00 for the cam welds. I don't want to give u wrong info, but you should defintely double check with him.

his e-mail is: [email protected]

hopefully this will point u in the right direction.

later

Dude since you live that close you need to go to Atlanta,GA to Ford Performance Specialists. thumbup Doug Lewis will hook you up with the cam welds for $450.00 thumb

I am heading there sometime betwen NOW and 2 years from now (warranty )

Your warranty will not support you on a cam fail.
Do some research at V8SHO.com.

I've done "some" research. The only stipulation I see is: the warranty will not exceed a repair amount GREATER than the retail value of the car. In my case it is around $8000, NOW.
I agree it is NOT worth the RISK... but a 4 hour drive to GA, and setting a whole day aside... I am wanting to wait until 100K so I can get a full service with the cam weld. (another 25K) eek!
I hope I'm not headbang before then hail

Good luck on it. Always good to see a fellow Tennessee guy on the V8 forum.

It seems you don`t understand the whole picture.It`s not a matter of if the warentee WILL fix it,but if the warentee CAN fix it.Ford simply does NOT have the parts to fix the engine damage of a spun cam sprocket.There have been cases where Ford has had to put used motors into SHO`s,or even many SHO`s that just sit because Ford has no solution for them.There are zero spare Gen III motors,Ford just doesn`t have any.The fix for a spen cam sprocket isn`t a new cam,it`s a whole new loaded head with alot of instal time.Your best bet would to be get in contact with Tim Wright,he will fill you in on all the information.Please don`t rely on your watentee,it will let you down.Do yourself a favor,and call him,you won`t be sorry.Cam`s have gone as early as 28K,and as much as 3 tines in the same car.They could go the next time you start your car,and Ford doesn`t have a new engine in stock to fix it,plus the damage can exceed $12,000.If i scared you,good,it`s that serious as i have learned.Ask more on the V8SHO.com mailing list,they`ll back me up.
