Gables is not the gables that once was. Took my engine parts here for cleaning with head and block work. Upon getting these parts back I noticed that parts were not cleaned throughly. When I called them about parts not being clean, I asked about other work and discovered that the heads were only cleaned ( poorly ). They did not do the requested head work, so I took everything back. They cleaned things up better this time around and stated heads were good to go. Assembled engine and started up to the sound of a diesel engine. Removed the heads and took them back. Owner tells me that the valve clearance was set on a high tight side and that he would personally fix this. He also said he would replace gasket set and head bolts for the inconveniences. Few days later I picked up the heads, gasket set, and head bolts. On my way back I noticed the gasket set and head bolts were for a 2.2L. My engine is a 3.2L. Now I am curious and started inspecting heads to find the cam caps loose, and that the valves were so tight there was some that never closed to seat. I was told they were ready to bolt on, good to go. So, I sent them off to another machine for inspection. Sure enough valves were st

These guys just finished up a 360 mopar for me and the work was great. About a month turn around and fair prices. Absolutely recommend!

First and last time customer. Gable resurfaced two Chevy Gen 1 small block heads and reassembled one with new valve stem seals. When I installed the seals on the other head they wouldn't go on - checked the part number on the box and see they're the wrong ID. I took apart the other head and found all of the valve seals were mangled, not fully installed, and most were visually different. Whoever did this either doesn't know about the world's most common V8 or doesn't care. Unacceptable.

This place is the best! Rick is very friendly, customer-service oriented, and delivers results. I took my 302 in for lots of work; main hone, bore and hone, and had them build my GT40 heads with parts that I supplied. My last build I even had him assemble the short block and it runs like a champ. Thank you Gable's!
