Jon, cc'ing personal emails back to the list and or a public forum is an extreme violation of what I'd call 'netettiqute' (sp?) I'm bummed to hear about this. Second of all I had "3" count em... "3" of those screws fracture on me, and my engine was built in the spring of 2004. So, unless they had sourced a new vendor, or went to a different rocker arm config or something, they knew about this stuff, not cool.. Now maybe they had worked all this out, and not had any issues with their 'new' screws.. then the comment is valid (but that might be a stretch?) I'm purely speculating here and I dont really want to go any further on that. I'm not going to dive in the middle of this one, it's not my issue to sort out at this point, I can only comment on how I was treated as a paying customer, and my experiences with them to date. Now I suppose it depends upon how you ask for something as to whether you get it or not. They did the install in my van, so maybe they feel a bit more 'ownership' but that part of the engine has nothing to do with the 'installer' (from that aspect) dunno.. sorry to hear that you/your customer had a bad experience with them. -tim |
