Crate engines to assemble yourself

[Keithc8]

I was just testing the water on this and it sure came back with a lot of opinions. I agree it could cause some head aches if the person doing the work did not know what he was doing. We already sell a lot parts to guy that do some of their own stuff. A person would have to know that they were responsible for the engine because they assembled it. This would also have to be made very clear. We do not make these parts or box all of the parts like bearings and rings and that would have to be checked.
We stay pretty busy so like you all said this might be more trouble than it would be worth. Sure got a lot of input and I appreciate your opinions about all of this.
I still want to do an open house and cover a lot of engine stuff at it to give the customers an ideal what goes into all of this. I always get a kick out of some of the guys that tell me that they have been doing engines for 20 or 30 years. What they mean is that they have assembled engines for that long. A lof of them have no ideal what goes into the machine work on the block, heads and other parts to get it to that point.
As always if we can help with an engine or parts just let us know. Several of you are right there are a lot of head aches in this business and we try to keep as many from happening as we can.

Thanks, Keith Craft
