After contacting Al, he responded (without lip service) and formulated a plan to evaluate my car.  After the initial "just get it running" request, it became obvious to me that this was going to be too much for me to do on my own in my garage.

Hi Al,
Just wanted to let you know I read some of the internet complainings that seems to be trashing the name of your company. It's always obvious by the tone and lack of rational thinking behind some internet attacks that the person generating them is difficult or impossible to deal with. It's sad that any business must deal with that as a part of doing business. This is the first time I've read your response to the internet trash talk and want to let you know that your response is professional, logical and positive. I congratulate you on being able to maintain that perspective in the face of such a negative and irrational attack.
Sincerely,
Steve Carlson

"The sound quality is not very good, but the Z car ran like new again. After the customer picked up the car it was going to the body shop for body restoring and new paint. She ran like a Z car should. Thanks for the great work on the cylinder. I would put any cylinder head rebuilt by you against a new head any time with no worries at all. Thanks for a quality product. ~Richard Mercer, Texas
