Not sure how it could be higher?? But my heads are not shaved. I'm using c grade gaskets.
Well my bridge was a royal bitch to put in because my deck was shaved .006 and C gaskets, was thinking yours was taller than stock (which it is now with C's) but I don't think its a height issue, rather a machine work error on the bridge itself
Sounds like you have seen his fab work first hand........ Nice looking powder coating can only go so far.
I think he meant to say lower....either way, I have gone approx. -.013" in head position since making my bridge and it still seals up and bolts in easily. Some that aren't machined evenly on both sides have given trouble. probably not your issue here, and I would also give Joe a call:thumb:
If you machine .010 off the head. That's a .005 difference if I'm thinking right. It will take a lot off the heads to change a pattern such as this.
Edit-> but I've had a few beers now, incase im wrong lol

Well if I can't come up with a good solution by this weekend ill have to spend about 750 to remedy it, not including the new runners ill need.
High torque silicone will hold if you clean the surfaces with brake cleaner or denatured alcohol.

I've never done business with Trent, but called him on a few occasions years past pricing things for customers... I've seen two of the kits he did himself when he didn't have any hired personnel, I believe, and Fab and fitment were spot on and as good as 95% of the stuff I've seen people trying to sell for 200% the price...
Chill out dude. Your not the one that got screwed. If I did as shitty of a job as he did on my my truck I would be embarrassed to show my face and I think he is. The thing is, it wasn't just one thing that was the problem on my truck. It was everything from missing 3 torque convertor bolts and 4 bell housing bolts to over tightening a bracket and cracking the valve cover to a loose engine pan and breaking of 2 of the engine mount bolts on one side. The thing that finally took the engine out was the turbo. He sold me a turbo with a low pressure wheel that wasn't supposed to see more than 20 psi. I pushed it to 35 a few times not knowing that until later after talking to the turbo company. Trent should have caught that before it left his shop. He told me I should see around 50 psi with my setup. Final damage from that was 5 piston skirts broke, 2 cracked pistons, scarred crank, damaged heads and ruined my turbo all in about 2 seconds time because some a$$hole didn't do what I paid him to do. This on an engine with 10,000 miles. I dynoed this truck at a whopping 450 rwhp with a billet 67 ball bearing turbo, 50% injectors and II 85% pump and Trent's tuning. Now tell me something isn't jacked up there. If my engine was this bad I can only imagine there are others. I know stuff happens but when I ran into him in Wyoming, the way he pretty much turned and ran showed me what a pos he is.
Damnit I was done cluttering up this thread.

Well Jackmo with 7 posts and don't even say where you are.....that sounds like a load of crap. Chill out, right......Trent isn't a pos and he sure's hell doesn't run away. Tell you what, I'll see him tomorrow and ask about this stuff you claim. He lives in Wyoming now so next time you see him be sure and tell him what a pos he is, to his face.

Sorry to hear all of this. But trust me, you weren't the only one.....
He IS IN HIDING! You guys defending him are obviously friends or fans of his. But trust me, you don't want to try and defend all the shoddy, half a** work him and his shop put out.
