          Needed ASAP really, what are your timesclaes Andy?

          Needless to say the machinst ****ed it up, my block is almost certainly scrap - they overbored the main tunnels by .03mm (over a thou FFS!). Their machine was obviously in **** condition as there were chatter marks across all the sadlles where the cutter has skipped. Even worse, they were quite happy to hand it back to me as a job done. Only when I got home and inspected it and measured it I saw the ****ing pigs ear they made of it. When I went back to have words with the owner today, his attitude was less than empathetic. We have not reached a resolution yet.
          Wish I'd just waited 2 weeks and given it to JP to get it machined. Hindsight is great

            Sorry to hear that old chap, why can't people do things properly nowadays?! Afraid it'll be a while for mine. Not even pulled the engine to bits yet...

              Yeah I'm pretty ****ing pissed off, I was almost ready to put it all together once JP is finished balancing it
              Thanks for the offer, I'll see how I get on - I'd like to get back on the wagon in the next couple of weeks ideally.
              Remains to be seen what outcome I have with the problems above. :corey:

                    Surely you have some recourse with these douchebags? I mean yeah, ok the block might be shagged but they owe you the cost of finding a new one etc. Not my engine but I am annoyed for you. Hope something crops up for you fella.

                      Unfortunately yes I have paid them Kit, but I have full receipt and paperwork etc.
                      I will wait to see what the outcome of their "investigation" is, but I have made it quite clear that as far as I am concerned the only satisfactory outcome for me is a full refund and compensation for buying another block. Oh yeah I forgot to say they also scored one of my brand new KS main shells, so they are scrap too :corey:

                        What a load of hassle and wasted time, hope you can get compensation sorted quickly.

                          problem would be shipping to there...because the 100kg of the block + pallet...
