Olds Performance Products

Did some looking on this site about these guys. There doesn't seem be much. Anybody have any interaction with them. I am rebuilding a late 400 and they where the only ones I could get pistons and rings from. Andy seems knowledgeable but I thought I would see if there was any experience with them here.

Pretty sure that’s the old Mondello Performance company. Lynn has burned so many people he needed to create a new name.

If I’m wrong, I apologize.

Wrong association. OPP is Andy Miller’s business in New York.

I can help if needed. Andy is an interesting fellow, to put it mildly.

Mark, I will PM you and would like to talk to you about this deal. So far I have only bought the slugs and the head gasket from Andy and I have not had any problems with him but I feel it important to get background on people who give advise on engine builds in particular. There are a lot of bench racer on the internet, some great some terrible, and lots in the middle. I was concerned because I couldn't find much about him on this forum, which I consider to be an awesome resource for Oldsmobile stuff. Your reputation precedes itself here and I appreciate your previous assistance with the cam in the bad motor.

Andy is a accomplished Olds builder, and has been fast with a Oldsmobile.

Yes, he has and so have some of his customers. The guys that like him a lot, swear by him. Others have not been so lucky, only Andy and the customers truly know the details.

Heres my experience with Andy, I have respect for his skills, although I have no reason to do business with him, and haven't. IMO he has much to say off the forum, on the forum, well not so much to say, maybe he's afraid of losing business. Bernard Mondello is my go to Olds vendor.

I have no opinions one way or the other, but the one time I called him he was very helpful, talked my ear off and gave me a whole lotta information.
