I just read all 22 pages including all the links and now that my eyes are burning I wanted to take the time to thank everybody that gave productive input pro/con. This thread was one thing but the links really sold me or unsold me on Dyno-flow. I will pay the local shop extra to have it done.
I really got screwed on a car I bought off of ebay from a private party and really think that this post may have helped save me those same headaches. Thank GOD sights like this have Scammer watch lists.

I just felt the sting that some of you guys have felt. I bought a 540 from a guy who knows a friend of mine ,the friend said the guy takes great care of his motors. I put it in my dragster started it up and my carb put to much alky in it i changed the oil sent the carb to rupert got it back worked great. Took the car to the track started it and heared somthing ,shut it off and took it home. Pulled the intake off found 2 bad lifters that didn't match the others and a lifter boar damanged,took the heads off and found that the boars were worn out (have to boar to larger size) crank has a crack in it, an at some piont while the guy raced it a screw got into two cylinders and beat the pistons and head up, rod bushing all no good ,intake valves all bad. And he said you did put alot of alky through it . Machine shop says the guy is full of it . GUY SAYS THERE ARE ONLY 25 PASSES ON THE MOTOR ,oh yea was about to spin three bearrings. Just found out they had the wrong head gaskets pistons were hittig the heads.

this post has been moved...

thanks Brian ' beetlejuice"

The guy i got this motor from says today his friend who's car it was in put it together last (that guy passed away last year so i can't talk to him). My other friend had to hear it from the machine shop guy that i got screwed. I told the machine shop guy to itemize the damage and what caused it (I THINK WERE HEADED TO COURT THE GUY TOLD ME THE MOTOR WAS MOTOR WAS IN GREAT SHAPE)! I think the machine shop guy felt bad for me because he asked me if i was getting my money back or have him pay for getting it fixed.

Not wanting to step on any toes...let's keep this thread about dynaslow.

Thanks for understanding.

It seems I hurt some feelings by asking NICELY to keep this thread about what it is and not get off on another topic.

I apologize to everyone that feels I did them wrong.

For those that feel I was out of line, please have the respect to pm me and we can discuss it.
Do not run to someone else and complain until I have had an opportunity to explain.

That is the manly thing to do.

check it out
 

Re: check it out
 

i think it sucks. JMO

i wrote early in this post that i knew a guy who bought a complete motor from dynoflo last season...i think it was a 565...after 3-4 passes i saw it being towed back to the pits...he told me something went wrong and dyno flo told him to ship it back and they were going to fix it...well i saw him this saturday at the track for the first time this season and i asked him what happened on the deal....

he stated after 3 passes the 3 bolts that hold the timing gear sheared off the camshaft.he spoke to scott at dynoflow and scott agreed to have it shipped back and repaired.....dyno flow allegedly repaired the motor and shipped it back to my freind...scott stated that they were using a new experimental form of loctite and it was failing and had failed in several other motors.

my freind puts the motor back in and makes a few passes and she runs like crap.he pulled the motor and brought it to a local shop.the local shop found the pistons were pretty banged up and she had 4 bent valves and all the valve guides were wiped.....so what dynoflow did is repaired the cam/timing chain problem but didnt inspect or repair any of the resulting damage....

my freind then decided it would be best to disassemble the whole motor and check everything...basically what they found was that every item that dyno flow said was in the motor was...it had all the good parts that were supposed to be in her...but all the clearances were just wack...they said what they found was if someone purchased all the good parts and then just slapped it together with no regards for clearances,tolerances etc...

my freind stated that dynoflow puts the motor together with top notch parts,the price is very good but the assembly and machine work[if any is done at all] is horrendous.after all was said and done,my freind said with all the money he had invested in the motor buying it and then having someone else fix all the problems,he could have bought an excellent piece from like reher-morrison.

you would think with this poor quality workmanship that this would have caught up to them by now...hopefully spreading the word in this manner it will soon.

experimental Loctite :lol:

A friend has just installed a 598 from dyno flo for one of his costomers. I talked to him after the motor was in. He said if he had known all this he would have talked to his costomer first. Now that the motor is in he is going to run it. He didn't check anything, just bolted it in. He is also giving it a 300 shot right off the hop. The first race wont be till august. I'll be watching that one closely.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!! Good luck to your bud, and if you are there perhaps you would like a grandstand seat about launch time....

i found this thing when i google this companys name, i was thinking of buying engine from them.... hmmmm...... not so shure... allready have on word products engine and been very happy with it so i think ill stick with that label .... to that company this thing has been a big loss , when they think time back it would be lot easyer and money saving thing to just come in solution and make somekind of compromice with the client but now i dont think it dont have any meaning.

Well they tested the car and i didn't know about it so i missed it. I talked with my bud that installed the engine. It makes great power, so mutch that they didn't spray it. They could not get traction without the spray so they played it safe. On the third or forth pass it blew the intake gasket out the back and leaked oil all over, so that was it for testing. Next race is aug 18, 19. I'll be there for that one.

Well the car raced two day's without a problem. It ran great the whole weekend. The owner was doing 8000 rpm burn outs. It all stayed together and ran great. I was working the burnout box. Standing 4 feet awyay from the car had me a little concerned. I thaught i may have to dodge a few connecting rods. LOL. Oh well, all is good and he's very happy with the engine.

well all that is TRULY great to hear for the customers sake....
but as they say a blind squirel will find a nut every now and then..


i'm not so sure a 8k burnout is the best idea for any motor...somone give that man a 3 step with directions for Christmas ...lol :D

I have spent time building and dynoing what i built.This is a serious no brainer my friend the bolt was left loose and i guess no one wants to own up to it huh?

Re: oops
 

Scot has had more than enough chances to own up to his screw up and make things right...lol

My opinion of Scot has not changed.

loose bolts
 

:oops: had a (Pro?) build me a nhra 396-375hp engine for my Chevelle. After 9 runs it broke on the starting line at dragway 42. I took it apart against his wishes to see what went wrong. One of the inner main bearing bolts fell out and wedged between the crank and block at 5500 rpms. Ouch. It broke the block, ruined the rod and bent the crank. I called him and he told me ( calm voice) that all big block Chevys had that problem and he wasn't the blame. He never once offered to make good on his mistake of not torqueing the main bearing bolt. go figure--- lesson learned-- never let someone work on your motor that doesn't have a reputation of standing behind their work. Shit happens in a race environment but you don't need rookie mistakes compounding the problem. I always wondered what he would have told me happened if i let him take it apart. Don't know-- that was 40 years ago and i still haven't talked to him to find out.
