Default Sorry guys but I have a question now

Susan Purham Thank you for your side of answering this thread. It's seam with the first motor MR Campbell didn't read the info that came with the motor. He had the motor dropped in the car and by running it with loose rocker arms broke the motor. I don't understand WHY after you dyno a motor you would back off all the rocker arm adjusters? If I am paying for the dyno work and setting up the motor, I wouldn't want any added prep work. Drop motor in and run. You are the first company that I have heard do this. I could see this if the motor was going to be in the crate for the next 6 months and not used to take the load off the springs. This would be a customer request. Removing coolant, fuel and oil from a motor before shipping I understand the laws about this and deal with this. Haz-mat love these little messes. I do think you and Bill have gone out of the way to help make right on the motor. Rick L

I have read every word and I come down on the side of Bill and Susan. I have never done business with them...but I would.
