A person building these everyday is subject to a mistake such as to forget a torque process way far over a guy doing this seldom, the once in awhile guy won't forget that. The question in my mind is how your second guy missed the torque process and you must have had issues prior to even have someone checking behind your bottom end assembler. A competent engine builder won't need a check behind man nor rely on the customer to triple check.!!
I've been building engines for 20 years and repairing cars for my living and i don't won't ANY CUSTOMER checking/handling rods or main bolts behind me in any fashion or form.
I make a mistake every now and then. I can tell when it's my fault. There's a thing called "a stopping point". There's a reason for that also! Eliminates mistakes, such as this mistake!

I can look @ the Photos and determine that engine was new. You mention 2005 too much in your posts. To me that sounds like your excuse. Assembled in 2005!!
Still, it's your short block. It's still new

You can believe one thing. Your buisness will suffer b-c of this one incident. The WWW is a powerful tool. Very!!

agree 100% with Frankie on this, I have done chassis work for guys that wont have their cars out for a couple of years yet, but still, you gotta stand behind your product even 2 years later.
Scot, you are loosing more money than if you had delt with it in a professional manner in the first place.
Many people read these forums and dont post, so it is not just a few of us country hillbillies hanging out here. Just look, there are over 7000 views on this thread alone... that is a lot of hillbillies, isnt it?
Even now, if you fixed the motor no charge and shipping no charge, the damage to your buissness is done.... It can take years to recover...
Too bad, if your business is as good as you say it is....

Some guys will spend dollars to save pennies.... :roll:

I really hate to get into this, but i have watched as Scott has refuted, denied any liability and seem to claim infalibility!

This company is not a custom-build high performance engine shop! They mass assemble motors with name brand high performance parts, but that in itself does not make it a custom built high performance motor just as me sleeping in the garage tonight does not make me a car!!!!!!

i have a close personal friend who has one of their motors in his garage floor as we speak that he purchased 2 yrs ago to use as a twin turbo motor and he gave them the specs to build it by and when it arrived it had not been built to his specs therefore this motor will have to go to another machine shop and built right when we get ready to install it.

yes, i said it was purchased 2 yrs ago but it's still in an engine bag and not been installed or fired therefore still new. if we installed it as it is and it self destructed, whose fault would that be?

the information about the motor is fact, the reference to their being mass assemblers rather than Custom high performance builders is my opinion.

WE ARE ALL WRONG AND HE IS RIGHT..GO FIGURE
 

I realize some people are reluctant to post for various reasons but they keep coming on board and we all realize the far reach this forum has into the racing world..This man in nearly all the post opinions has made a business mistake and then backed it with a personal attack on anyone that cares to post as he has lumped everyone together into 3 catagories according to his post..I also know that he has lost at least 3 orders that stated so on this forum and no telling how many we do not know about...This has become some of the most expensive "bad advertising' the man could have ever bought..I really hate to see someone shoot themselves in the foot by bad decisions and then backed them up by saying he would replace the block and reniging on that and blaming others as his reason...Sir, you have made your bed and therefore you are now lying in it...This many people can not be wrong and "you" as one person be right :!: :!: Let this be an example to the next problem child...

I like bacon...
