I've known a few people with JE's and they haven't had any problems..
I did know one idiot that had a set made w/out valve reliefs. He's lucky that he turned it over by hand before starting the engine up. What a dumbass :P

Well unfortunately we used to have a certain company make custom pistons....
Spec'd at 8.5:1 and sent out by this said company. When we cc'd the engine, turns out the piston is 9.8:1. So much for quality control. 
Of course YMMV.

Yeah.. outsourcing custom parts can be a dangerous business.
I prefer to get stuff done locally if possible. If I have to have something outsourced, I generally only have 1 of the parts made first. That way, I don't waste a ton of money on a full set if the part is incorrect.
