Dissapointing year end with my Roush 427R

[CHANMADD]

The reason that the bores where oval was because when they bored the block it was without "stress plates" being bolted to the top of the block first, which simulates the stress that the heads put on the block when they are bolted down. Also the main bearing caps should be in place at the same time, all torqued up, if you are going to do it right.
Depending on your piston type too, a lot of builders are building extra clearance into the motors becuase of the ring land problems that have happened.
What it really takes is to properly 'Blueprint " the motor, and for the money that you paid, that is what you should have got!

The reason I bought a Roush was for their "Great Reputation" .. thats why I paid MORE instead of going "No Name" crate.

Now that I am ready to send it back let's see what happens.

Somewhat disconcerting that an outfit like Roush won't stand behind their product regardless of "warranty" with only 3000 miles on it provided it has been normally maintained and not abused.

Certainly does not reflect well on them in my book.

Thats BS in my book.

Well the Have one more chance to make it right. Just spoke to warranty on the phone today... apparently he needs to check with the boss if their offer was still valid... not sure why it wouldn't be I was told to drive the car til the end of the season then remove and ship back this winter. I surely wasn't driving it around Montreal since October with the winter we've been having.

I also had to remove the engine and crate it myself... I am very comfortable with that but was short on time and that was impossible before the holidays. I can't sink any more money into this engine!

I would really love to come back on here with a post bragging how anxious they are to get my engine redone and make sure I'm satisfied!

Then let you all know how its running perfectly in the spring!

... the ball is in their court!
