I concur with both posts!

 

Even the best companies out there do make mistakes but its what they do after that makes or breaks the company. Long story short a small company should know what's going into the engine part wise its very simple you order parts and install them. I don't believe for a second this was missed I think it was intentional. Either way though customer didn't get what they ordered there should be an instant refund processed none of this we don't have the money to do it shit. If you don't have the money to fix your mistakes you shouldn't be in business or you should make damn well sure you don't make any to begin with.

 

Having companies that had integrity and didn't screw people over along with members who didn't contribute useless sarcasm used to be the distinguishing difference from sites like honda-tech but it appears that s2ki is moving that way because I'm reading so much more rubbish from members and the class that s2ki used to have has been replaced with...well...both you and CNC have made my point.

 

Like you says, everybody can make a mistake. For me, Jason flees his responsibility because he says it checks each time the process building. I don't know how it's possible not to see that the cylinder head is damaged and parts installed are wrong ? We sent engine to him and he says we can run with this but we've don't paid for this ! He has advised us during the quotation, he had installed dry sleeves with block guard, Rods with ARP 625+ etc. It changes a decision without notifying us so we paid for "best" parts ?
At the time, I had discussed with Fullblown, Evans Tuning Racing Laskey for a new project building but the price was a little more expensive and a little longer. I really regret it.

What's crazy is that it tries to resell our parts to others guys, it will not pay the labor because we have already paid. It will be a benefice with this method but it does not provide for full refund while we have no engine.

Anyway, he didn't go for a full refund when we have just referred to it. It leaves me with a bitter taste

 

I completely agree,anybody can make even a simple mistake like missing a shell or not putting an inner spring on a valve.Putting completely different pistons in than the ones ordered is unforgivable.Even the most obvious mistakes can be overlooked.

It seems obvious to me that if penny's can be saved by cutting corners and hoping the customer doesn't notice is normal practice in today's world.

What is wrong with buying everything that is ordered/paid for and fitting it?I really don't understand why a company with a previously good reputation would throw all that hard work and trust away just to save even a few thousand dollars.That reputation is gone and it won't come back.

I have bought absolutely everything that my engine needs and more,not because I don't trust my engine builder but because I then know what's new and what has been fitted.To be honest it hasn't cost a huge amount to replace crank,con rods, pistons,oil pump, chains.....everything that moves basically.What really pee's me off is that this could have been in the first place and saved me a he'll of a lot of wasted time money and grief.

I think the bottom line is these company's are greedy,and want to make a fast buck with no regard for the customer whatsoever.

 

Yeah I would say its what the company does after they make a mistake that is what counts. Mistakes happen, but when you are a shop you need to have some money aside if something happens. If you don't have 2500 to refund a customer and your taking this long...man you got problems.

 

No doubt. I sure wouldn't be counting on any warranty service in the future. Sounds like they're barely hanging on.

Unfortunately for the op, this very thread may be the reason he doesn't get a refund, due to all of the lost revenue. I've been considering their diff setup, but no longer.

 

Hard to consider a lot of these shops now. Ive been screwed by a shop myself. I may plan to go to the stock block built head route now instead.

 

You're not alone
