Donald,
I was still holding the BS flag
.
I find this information to be of much more use in informing us as to the problems you are having. As I said before, the complete history as you have it is what we need to figure out what is going on.
It does not sound good, at all.
You are correct, several people have posted "their own" experience with SA, which is really the only type of post that can be considered whether it be Pro or Con.
I think you have placed the ball back into Bill's court. I can't imagine him not wanting to post what he thinks happened on this (these) builds.
One point of thought I have, is that I often find one engine builder does not like another builder's work. They have negitive things to say right away about the other guy, especially when they do not know each other.
Just so you know I have not ever had a motor built by SA, nor do I have first hand experience dealing with Bill. So I have no opinion directly on SA.
I am truly sorry you have had so much trouble, money lose, and summers gone. I retract my BS flag.
Eric
PS BTW, what car are you building????
