Tommy Sizemore - Cylinder Head RIP OFF
 

Just had a nice conversation with racer also screwed by Tommy Sizemore from California.
Took 2 years to get his parts back..well most of them !!
Had to get Consumer Affairs involved.

Learned Tony Sizemore has a history of ripping people off.
Including a person in Europe who trusted him for $6500.
Never saw their heads and never heard from Mr. Sizemore.

One of the great things about our hobby and love of racing.
We have a tight network of good people.
Most of us in a drop of a hat would help anyone.

Then along comes the lone wolf.
All of us are trusting souls and we get screwed by this type of person.

Learned a lesson and best way to deal with it is to post a warning.

Warning!
Headbytes is owned by Tony or Tommy Sizemore.
He has a web site and posts his work on youtube.
Advertises that is he a crack head porter and can fix broken heads.
Likeable convincing person, knowledgeable and unreliable.

I will get over this.
Have a great holiday season.

He has a cyl head of mine for almost 2 yrs and told me about 3 months ago that he was going out of business. He has been paid in full because he told me over a year ago that the head was done. so be careful my fellow racers dealing with this guy

Just curious, you run PURE STOCK and are a strong support of PURE STOCK racing. So why would you send your heads to this guy instead of sending them to the local NAPA or whatever for a valve job?

Re: Tommy Sizemore - Cylinder Head RIP OFF
 

The relevant info here is that three racers support that this builder is not to be trusted. Everything else is tire smoke and CO2.

Said same thing to me in October.

Update:
Here is the contact information on Tennessee Consumers Protection Agency
Kristen Aplin - Consumer protection Specialist
Department of Commerce & Insurance
Nashville, TN
Kristen.f.aplin@tn.gov
615-532-7628

Said they have been in contact with Tony Sizemore who promised to clean up his situation.
He used serious family issues for his reasons, just as what we have heard.
They have not heard from him in a while.

It looks like there are dozens of people who have been mistreated by Mr. Sizemore.
Some got their stuff back after 2 years.

Going to file a complaint even though it will do nothing except document another case against Mr. Sizemore.

Watching his youtube video's stuff reminds me of the way cave men would do things.

Re: Tommy Sizemore - Cylinder Head RIP OFF
 

One of his customers put up a pic of a head he supposedly ported, the bowl and throat were untouched, no valve job and it looked like an 8 year old kid attempted his first port match.

Re: Tommy Sizemore - Cylinder Head RIP OFF
 

I know from experience that he is a liar and a crook. He ruined a set of stocker heads for me that would never pass tech

OMG the head is moving as he is using the stone,
