I don't know how smart one has to be when you spend $60K and only get 40 miles on the engine. If it were me I'd be livid.

Smart? Puh-leeze, that's insulting. I'm sorry Keith, but based upon the info contained in this thread, that's how I feel.

Most of us can sympathise from a consumer's point of view with Damage's situation - spending big bucks in anticipation of his ultimate build and having a catastrophic failure in a few short miles.
However, Keith is here and is at least stepping up with his point of view and appears willing to work towards a resolution. More than can be said for many other vendors in similar situations. I for one am happy to see that and I believe if emotions and the thirst for blood are kept at bay, a mutually acceptable resolution should be found.

Today is February 1st. According to Damage, the saga started in November. Hopefully, there will be a satisfactory solution, but likely shouldn't have taken this long. And after a thread like this one.

Well clearly I'm a dumb ass, if i had of known I needed air filters to stop a chain breaking I would have installed one.

Can any one suggest a decent air filter that guarantees longer timing chain life.

As to the rest of Sliders dribble sorry but if I pay for something then I expect that I get what I'm paying for not half a job.

Happy to wait for a resolution from KC without your input mate.
