WTH Livernois???

[wht67]

So, I have a forged stroker build that got put on hold due to a house fire last summer. I am slowly getting around to doing some things to get the ball rolling. I thought I would put my phaser lockouts in my new phasers to have them ready to go. Well, I can't find my Livernois lockouts that I had before everything was moved out of the house while repairs were made. Small box apparantly got lost in the shuffle. Not a huge deal, was only about $50 so I go to order a new set..... $699!!!!! What the H*LL? Un-freaking-believable!

I have a spreadsheet with all the parts I previously ordered that has prices, shipping, part numbers and even a link to the item on the vendor web page. I consult my spreadsheet:

There it is $49.99 + shipping total $65.72.....

The link is dead, and a search for the part number (LME3VLOCKOUT) brings up the ohaser limiters which are now $129!!!! Insanity! I need some reasonably priced lockouts...

Hmmmm..... I wonder if I should just go with 3V V10 cam gears....

Hate to mention this particular vendor, but check BBR.

YES guys, I know...FUCK BBR!

Well it is like MMR, I like a HT spark plug gapper I got from them, lol.

That's what I was looking for. I knew another vendor was making them. I even (shamefully) looked around the MMR site..... How can you mess up a chunk of aluminum that fits into a spot and it designed NOT to move?

I did more searching through every place I can think of and the lockouts are nowhere to be found. I am fully confident that they will appear sometime after the BBR lockouts show up!

In that case you can sell your original ones for near new price
Lol

I was reading the reviews of the $700 noise repair kit, man are those people being screwed and they are GRATEFUL! just wow

 

[Gabe]

Have you tried calling them to see if the website has a decimal placed in the wrong spot?

Meaning it could be 69.99, not 699.99

I have the same one. Works great, I wonder who they stole the idea from? Haha

 

[Unreal]

Livernois is awesome. I would just call them, explain what happened, and they might hook you up on at the old price.

Before bashing on Livernois you should make sure you are paying attention to the details. I'm looking at their site right now and the lockouts by themselves are $129.99. The set that comes with two new phasers with lockouts installed is $699.99.

I never found the lockouts by themselves. Only the limiters.... Not sure that the kit comes with phasers, just the lockouts and the tuner. Per site:

Includes: MyCalibrator Tuner, Livernois Lockouts, OEM Quality Phaser Bolts, and Livernois Timing Chain Wedge Tool

The assembled phasers with lockouts and MyCal tuner with phaser bolts is $1119.96.

In my opinion that is not a very good deal. Even at $129 (if it is lockouts not limiters that you saw) for the lockouts alone is not a good price.

Before trying to bash me maybe YOU should check some details.

 

[Wes06]

thats the limiters you were looking at im pretty sure, the ones with the spring in them.

hes right i cant find lockouts on their site without phasers included

 

[morrowstang95]

They are not on there. BBR has then and a guy on ebay has them for like 40 bucks. Don't know how well they fit. I may even have a extra set or two. Lol

You very well may be right. My bad

Ford Racing (M-6004-463V) Camshaft Drive Kit for Ford 4.6L 3V Engine, Radiator Caps - Amazon Canada@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51mxhzuxrGL.@@AMEPARAM@@51mxhzuxrGL

Still on for $163 Canadian, that's about $130 USD, also has chains and tensioners you'll have to throw out...

I'd trust those ebay lockers. Not rocket science here.

1-3 month. I see you wont get anything at the end.

Why ditch the tensioners or the chains?

 

[eighty6gt]

I already got mine @ that price, Lito, Amazon's delivery timelines are all messed up.

I was talking to the OP - he just needs the phasers and locks to get going.

I actually have that timing kit already, just could not find the lockouts I bought before the house fire. I bought the set from BBR and have them.
