I read a letter of recommendation that you wrote for him on his website? I thought you set records with his heads? Yikes I have watched some of his YouTube videos and thought about sending him a set but now I won't! Thanks for the heads up.

There is an extensive chain of unhappy people with this guy. I did a search about a year ago, as Gary's name had come up. People sent this guy heads and paid upfront and then he would disappear. He worked for someone else then went out on his own, had a bunch of personal and financial issues and people got the short end.

Do your research before entrusting someone. Its unfortunate that this happened to you Dan.

Bobby i had a set of heads that were done when he actually had a job at simpkins that he cllaimed credit for. Then he done a set own his own that he ruined. He took a set of my heads before he got fired there for his lying and not showing up for work and that has been 7or 8 years and have not seen the heads since so i advise you not to mess with him unless you just want to throw them in the trash

Thanks Sean;
Was a bit embarrassed to bring this up.
But our racer community needed to know about Mr. Sizemore.
Saving another person from getting ripped off is good enough reward.
Hopefully this time he is permanently out of business.

Peace!

Just a FYI, You can be banned for naming names here. I've been warned and had my post removed for sharing my experience with a unscrupulous engine builder.

People watched his video, and still sent heads to him? And, what other shop wants paid for labor up front?

Hello Phillip;
That violates my Free Speech.
Especially when it comes to warning about a person who is doing harm.

There is one thing to falsely accuse someone, got that !
But not warning the community about a person who is actively harming people for almost a decade, that would not be very responsible of me.

Kind of like warning the community of a dangerous person.
BUT oppss...you can get kicked out of that community for the warning.

Does not make sense..
Mr. Sizemore is not a person who made one mistake.
He is actively selling his services.
Convinces us he can do the job, takes our money up front, lies when the product is not delivered on time, and then keeps our stuff.
A rare few have gotten their parts back after harassing him only to receive bad work and they were the lucky ones !!!

This is a fact...not just an accusation.
He has been reported to Consumer Protection.
I verified this myself and going to file a complaint.
Plus the feedback from other races who have experienced Mr. Sizemore.

Mr. Sizemore is a serial habitual lair and I do not say that lightly.
I do not hate him but his behavior is harmful.

Mind you he is one hell of a salesperson.
Talks the talk, uses YouTube, has an interesting web site.
Most companies would kill to have his smooth talking warm tone inviting personality.

Mr. Sizemore should not be working in the Machine Shop.
He should be out at the Race Tracks and Industry events Selling for a Machine shop convincing people about how good they are.

Mr. Sizemore missed his calling.
Should have gotten a suit, shave, hair cut, some fitness and ethics training.

Be Fair Be Ware !!

Ed,
There is another that is known to be the best with a specific Ford engine and porting, that has taken people's money and parts only to have wound up in jail and not returned countless phone calls and emails. So I would not say that Sizemore or this guy are known class racer porting shops. If someone does not have the funds to take on a project and bill as the job progresses that is a red flag on their business financial well being in my opinion.

You would think just seeing his video would be red flag.

He's from California????? I've seen those videos, like the spray welding a set of rare High Performance 352 FE heads, and assumed he must live in the Deep South, perhaps a trailer park in a swamp.
