Not Ranked
It's unquestionable that one needs to be sympathetic to Damage's situation - dream build, big bucks for the ultimate engine, etc. In fairness, however, consider the scenario from Keith Craft's point of view: He wants the engine back so he can tear it down and conduct his own inspection to determine exactly what happened and what needs to be done to repair it.
As things stand, he is forced to accept the opinions of others dabbling in his field of established expertise who openly imply that his work was suspect, and concede to ship the requested parts on their say-so. That has to be difficult and self-incriminating to accept.
Keith has years of builds under his belt to give him the confidence that no one is better qualified than himself to conduct the forensics and fixes but Damage, understandably based on this experience probably doesn't agree; and on top of it all there's the issue of justifying the shipping costs. Perhaps the solution lies in some sort of compromise in sharing the cost of shipping, or just sending the heads - I don't know. What's painfully obvious is that it's a bad situation for all involved and I for one feel for both sides.
