The "Broken046," and how it got MOFO'd

[Ryan Browne]

Holy be-jeezus!

 

[BrokenSVT]

Fantastic machine work.

 

[P.M.P.]

This thread makes me want to

 

[BrokenSVT]

It just keeps getting better...

 

[BrokenSVT]

From what I can tell, that hasn't been touched.

You would be right. My sarcasm is masking my anger at the moment.

 

[Lightning Performance]

Your saying this is a fresh port job and re-build?

 

[BrokenSVT]

My "brand new" OEM bearings. Really puts the "O" in OEM. One is shot.

Those are the services I purchased, yes.

You'd have thought at least the guy could have cleaned the carbon out of the combustion chamber...

 

[Lightning Performance]

Sorry,...

I'll shut up now.

Or a decade ago's wood from the case before installing those *cough* OEM seals.

 

[BrokenSVT]

Naw, fire away. I'm quite angry over this mess. I'll entertain conversation.

 

[Lightning Performance]

Not a smart ass remark. Do you see the dig mark in the case wall? WTF caused that?

 

[Mastermind]

What a surprise.

 

[CapitaineHaddoc]

This one is even worse than the 064. Incredible.

The seals are the least of the problems. A lot of the aftermarket seals are decent if they're installed right. Most of the aftermarket pistons other than Meteor are junk but I haven't tried the Cross pistons yet- I've ordered one for a TS-700 I'm building.

 

[blsnelling]

True, but quality is irrelevant if OEM was promised.

I've no doubt you're right on all counts. The concern isn't the quality. The concern is what I was billed for.

This.
