I appreciate your opinion, here is why I feel I have no resposibility on this (yet) 1. The build was brand new I did not think checking on his work would be needed till I ran the car.2.They have done work in the past for me including motors so I took his word for it. If we cannot believe what we are told were do we start and stop with checking workmanship. Do I check valve lash immediately? he says he set them properly, do I start checking for proper cam timing/indexing ? he says he did that.Is the spark plug gap proper ,he says he did that, ,or is that things that should be checked after you drive the car more than 3 miles. I think that they should be checked after some break in time. Is it still my carb on the motor, with the same jets, are those still my new heads, is it a roller cam, new rockers like the reciept says, honest if you lose creditibility with your words, where do you start to check and stop trusting someones word. It was made clear to me the car could be parked for the winter in my unheated garage, just as other motors he has done for me in the past in the same car parked in the same location You do understand it was a brand new build. Approx 3 miles and maybe 25 minutes of running time. He lives in the area and knows the weather we have, as far as the dip stick I was going to put one in with the first oil change. Insisting with Mike is sorta hard, he tends to do things his way to try and keep things in order, and is not open to critism or ideas. That can be a good and bad. You can ask but it may or may not happen. Your points are well taken but I do disagree. As far as warranty/guarantee all that I ask is that I get what I paid for and honesty. Do you feel I got that, I feel I did not.So thats the warranty/guarantee I need. As far as working with me on this, the reponse of zero liability (x3) tells me he feels no responsibilty. I know I do this for fun, playing with cars is my escape. Stuff will break. But people in general need to take resposibilities for their actions,
Thanks for your opinion, I have read you links and responses to many threads here on RJ and agree with alot of them, just not this one.
I think other valid opinions help me to see things in a different way, and shed light on the issue, thanks but I feel Zero resposibility, it was just plain too new.
