Ya ok.....

some of us have built and blown up more six fours than we care to count. And also logged hundreds and hundreds of thousands of miles on them

Or just hundreds of hundreds of miles before they blow up. Only 6.4 I'd ever own would be an inline 6...

Just because you don’t know my name or anything doesn’t mean I haven’t been around the block lol. Stop acting like a tough guy and let’s just respect each other’s experiences.
I'm not disrespecting you, I'm warning others not to take your advice hook line and sinker because frankly what you are saying is not typically how it shakes out.

I have seen it on multiple occasions, just talking from personal experience.

I agree with Sootie, he’s been around awhile. I’ve worked on 1 or 2 six fours in my life, and agree 300k is typically a pipe dream… and if the bottom end makes it that far, you’ll probably go thru 10 fuel systems, making it not worth the time or effort

10 fuel systems? That's a stretch. Are your customers filling up their tank with a garden hose?

Okay so a new development, if anyone knows or had a direct experience with this company, please contact me asap. My attorney feels that there is sufficient history for this to be turned into a class action case against them. Unfortunately, I do not have the out reach to find these people. Please spread the word on social media. PM me and i will get you my direct email.

This company has been operating in bad faith for too long

My experience with them was not with a full engine, but rather with some spendy valve covers. Had severe oil leak at valve covers on new build. Even after multiple removal and installs Cass was still trying to say it wasn't their problem, nicked vc gaskets, install error, etc. I removed them, took many photos and measurements, shipped em back. Main problem was incorrect machining of gasket groove, there were several issues making them work during install as well. Pita. Getting a refund has been problematic. I've experienced incompetence at several levels in their organization, Joe, cass, accounting... Still waiting after over a month fo mah money!

Did they talk down to you? So just to clarify, QC sucked
I guess you could say that. More like trying to pass on a defective product to me, then saying that the problems weren't there. They haven't gotten me angry enough to drive over there. Yet. The interesting thing was that the valve covers were supposedly machine to order with like a 4-8 week lead time, so I ordered fairly early in my build, then was surprised to receive them within a week. Pure speculation here, but my wag is that I Got a set o prototypes that they had sitting around.

Because I know nothing about this company, do all of their valve covers have their company logo?

You also just joined today with a birthday of 01Jan49, living in Mexico; so that all seems credible...

Lol, credible yessss. These were the valvetrain oiling variety, available with either choate or powerstroke. Sweet concept, and definitely deliver plenty of oil, but for the headaches removing and installing them in frame I'll happily just replace the valvetrain when it wears out.
