Well, Scott Slotten of DYNOFLO I gave you my apology Friday and I am very sure you have read it.
Now I have waited all weekend and not a peep from you. I know your cat didn't eat your mouse due to the fact you have been posting ads.
I've been pretty nice until now and believe it or not all the people that have posted have been as well. Especially since You have accused me of Sabotage, gross incompetence, being uneducated, and just plain Sucking at being a mechanic.
Re-read all the posts I've made concerning you and tell me what I've said bad or untruthful.

George Douklias, the owner of the motor is not asking you for this, I am!

But You need to step up and take care of him as well!
Myself and just about everybody else feel you should step up and give the man ALL the parts he needs and not just make a token gesture of a block.
You have made sarcastic comments about how I've went to C.S.I lengths to doccument this motor. I doccumented it like I would anything else I do and Im very glad I did now.
It's true you did make the gesture to send the motor back and you would rebuilt it, but due to how you have handled all of this like I said before, That is Not an Option.
It's true your buisness is larger than mine but thats not what makes a good buisness man or a good person for that fact Dealing with the public and stepping up when your company has a problem is what makes a good buisness man. I've given you time & plenty of it and up until now if you think I've been bashing you or starting a Witch hunt your mistaken. I guess its time now to start one.
So if anyone would like all the info for posts on other sites feel free to let me know and I will provide you with all the pics, emails and all the info you need .LET THE HUNT BEGIN. :twisted:

Even the best engine builders make mistakes.....
BUT if they dont stand behind what they build and if in fact they forgot to tighten the rods bolts they should give you full replacment.
Breaking your motor at the track is one thing,breaking it before you get to the track because of an "Oppps" is another..
I would have just sent the motor back and then worked it out before posting it on here for public bashing , at this point you have tried to hurt his reputation which is only warrented if he didnt want to make good.

Mitch,

Donn did try to make things right, and the guy tells him he is uneducated and basically to go pound sand up his backside.
No bashing even occured until the 'builder" refused to apologize or take any responsibility.

All the "builder" did was to make excuses and claim his shop NEVER makes mistakes....my ass, everyonr makes mistakes, some people are just too ignorant or trying to hide it to admit when they do.

Re read the entire thread and you will see nothing was even said about the 'builder" until after he was given every opportunity to make things right.

I AGREE - :roll: --THE BUILDER SHOULD HAVE TRIED TO SETTLE THIS RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING :evil: NOT AFTER HE GETS PUT ON PUBLIC DISPLAY :? !!!TO TELL SOMEONE THEY ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND TO NOT WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT DID HAPPEN TO THE MOTOR WAS JUST PLAIN BAD PUBLIC RELATIONS!! :cry: :cry: LET THE BIULDER GO CRY SOMEWHERE ELSE--HE SCREWED UP JUST REPLACE IT~~~ :idea: START HIRING PEOPLE THAT CAN AND WILL USE A TORQUE WRENCH AND DOUBLE CHECK THERE OWN WORK :idea: ---THEY WILL END UP ALOT BETTER OFF AND WON'T END UP HERE!!!!!! :wink: :wink: :wink:

Appropriate preloads are specified for each ARP bolt. These preloads can be attained in a connecting rod by applying proper torque using a torque wrench or by measuring the amount of stretch in the bolt using a stretch gauge (it is known that a bolt stretches in proportion to the tension in it). The torque method is sometimes inaccurate because of the uncertainty in the coefficient of friction at the interface between the bolt and the rod.the bolts can be check to see if they were ever tightened by arp!!!!!!!it's a no brainer to most but some are blind to the facts.

I have gone thru a few problems like this with engine builders, some BIG names.
At we had a 565 with break in time and 3 runs grenade and throw a rod destroy one cylinder, junk went into the cam valley, snaped the camshaft pin drive and bolt and you get the rest.
At first the builder was in disbeleaf, then he wanted the whole deal sent back, he deduced a rod bolt had broke.
he wanted me to buy a new crank, two rods, they wanted to fix the block etc etc.
I told him it was his responsibility to provide a new block and all the broken parts to be replaced.
it took 3 months and some threats of lawsuits to make it right, but they finally did.
I had to pay the freight both ways though, the engine was $17,000 new

Fastbowtie handled this in a very professional manner. He took the high road. To bad the builder did not. Bad commercial he should make it right.
