I particularly like these comments. Productive, helpful, descriptive.

Perhaps Keith used his knowledge from years of building engines and experience with all the vendors to make a decision. I don't really think he consulted internet forums. This is where I should insert the roll eyes obnoxious face. Is that how you make decisions for work?

So, you a consumer who writes checks knows better than a person who has worked in the industry for years and created a successful company.

It would be interesting to come to your work wait for something to go wrong and use my "check writing expertise" to set you straight. I am sure I could read the internet and get in depth experience, enough to KNOW for sure what you did wrong.

So, you're saying that Keith knows how to build an engine better than me? I can agree with that. But you're completely missing the discussion.

The engine builder did make a decision. And it appears that his decision was a bad one for Damage, since his engine only lasted 40 miles after he spent $60,000. Great decision-making capability, when there's 5 years of BAD information about Coon heads and chain drives.

As a consumer, I would expect better. The rest of your statements or comments are completely off topic and not relevant.

I'm not an engine builder, the engine builder is the expert. So what? The engine builder installed bad parts and didn't honor the warranty. Engine went bad after 40 miles. Damage will probably spend another $6,000 for Pond heads plus another $10,000 or $20,000 to fix the rest of the crap. By the time he's finished, he may be nearing $100K for a SOHC engine.

I obviously feel awful for Damage, the consumer, who wrote the check. You obviously feel awful for the engine builder, the "expert", who kept the $60,000 and hasn't resolved the problem, a problem that has been unresolved since November 2014 or thereabouts.
