440 Source Quality?

[Dusty997]

Placed my first order with 440 source and im not too impressed...


I ordered a brand new chrome timing cover and it came completely covered in fresh pitting rust.

Is there a better place to buy stuff for our motors? or did i just happen to draw a short stick. Kind of annoying after waiting 2+ weeks for an order to arrive.


EDIT: The Missing gaskets were tucked between two extremely thin pieces of cardboard that just looked like 1 solid piece of backing. So just the timing cover issue.

I have ordered from them before and never had a problem or received anything that looked like that.
Give them a call and let them know, they are pretty reputable from my experience.
Let us know what they say...

Will do. I did email them but its too late in the afternoon for a reply.

I wouldn't use anything chromed that has access to engine internals. Think about where the peeling chrome would go....

Ya know, I never thought of that. Maybe im better off just returning it, sandblasting my Factory one and painting it.

Bought a dipstick and tube that were chromed from a reputable mopar vendor.
It didn’t take long for the chrome to start flaking off the stick.
