His videos showed a degree of competence to me.
Including one customer validating what a good job he did.

Up to that point had no reason to question what he was doing.
Nor did some 10 or so people and probably more than that.
Some racers tried diligently to warn the public and did not catch those warnings.

Start investigating when he kept asking for more money and delivery time slipped.
Which I confronted him and the sweet talker he is played me like a fiddle.

I have ported and polished two LT1 Iron Heads and an Exhaust Manifold.
The Iron Heads I did worked very well on our Impala Pinks Car.
FWIW on Sizemore's Videos I did learn a few things that were useful.

My experience before Porting the Pink Cars Heads started with a phone call to Joe Mondello in 2010.
He was very patient learning what to do without a flow bench.
Then bought his premium Porting Kit and went to work and got great results.
2011 he published an article on Vortex Heads and read it thoroughly learning even more.

My hope was to see how a professional would port them for a tow/bracket 383 engine for my Caprice wagon.
Seems no one ports Iron Heads and was way too busy to do another set.
Somehow $1500 project became a $2500 one.

Ed ... I took a chance and got screwed.

There is some poetry here.
Do you know that Tommy Sizemore reads these posts?
