Got my motor back together and finally running for about an hour and just killed. Went home and pulled head off and broke 3 valves and destroyed head and piston. Found out my "mechanic" put the piston in backwards. Sucks really bad, but he says hes going to take care of it.

Bummer dude....

At leasr the mechanic will take care it and being honest that he made a mistake. That customer service in my book. How long will you be down?

 

do you mean upside down? Because that would take a #ell of a lot of talent to be a mechanic and manage to put a piston in upside down. Maybe he was confused why he was torching and then welding a bracket onto the piston,

They say badthings happens in 3's. I am scared to start my raptor tonight,

That sucks rudyraptor, i am glad the mecanic is big enough to stand behind his mistake

 

Xcelr8 How dumb are you? seem to me you are....

Read again! then think about it! DUH!

 

says he will take care of it but he wants to port it his self using the craycraft head to go by but that is not what i paid for the first time. I am still waiting to talk to him again cause i want to send it back to craycraft and get the same thing i had. Just curious about the rod now. Hopefully weeks i guess. Not really sure he was supposed to come pick it up today but not here yet.

Uhmm yea sure ok, can I have what your smoking.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I'm confused. He wants to re port your craycraft ported head? I'd send it to craycraft to have them do the valve job needed and charge your mechanic for the work plus the other parts you need now, Piston etc. Also, the impact the piston and subsequently the rod took when this happened. I'd consider a new rod, may be bent anyway. jmo Oh, charge him for that to.

 

i need a whole new head and that is what i want him to do but dont think he wants to pay for it. Still waiting to talk to him again.
