I do post here a lot, but have posted since 2000
I don't normally complain about a company, but this time I had to say something
I ordered a built engine this past winter, was supposed to be 9.5:1 compression, but showed up 11.5:1 I tried to send it back, but they refused to take it back, as it was a custom build. So I kept the motor, but it has never been right, It has always been loud, found a bad tensioner, replaced it which helped, but still always loud
Well recently it just died at about 60 to 100 feet at the track, towed it to a friends shop, and found it broke a lower timing chain gear, which broke a secondary chain, and a bunch of rockers
So I brought it to another shop, they pulled the motor, and found not only did the lower timing chain gear, rockers fail, but when they took it apart they found the pistons were hitting the heads
The company tried to tell me since I opened the valve cover they won't stand behind it.
Also when it got to the new engine builder they found all pistons were different sizes, and excessive piston to cylinder wall clearance
So I start to go through my paper work, and find my build sheet which is 6 pages, only one page is from my build, and has my engine job on it. The other 5 pages are from some other engine build, started before we even finalized what I wanted. Even if that engine job was what they used, the specs of the pistons, and cylinders don't match what the paper work said
I will let these pictures speak for themselves, and you can come out to your own conclusions
Look at the Job number, and the dates, have to do two posts for all the pics
