Ditto on that Anthony ,sounds like the same conversation i had with CMC
























give me a shout
That says something about the work Comp Machine does if tired engines can push a Skater 147mph.

They have my vote!

That sure gives them bragging rights

The picture appears to be showing circumferential cracks.

If there was nothing found that the machine guy had done wrong with machining the blocks, then we know he is not what everyone say's about him after all. We just have to wait and see the results. I will start looking into it next week or so.

Anything in regard of what I should be looking and checking as well while finding a different machine shop to look into the motors and try to figure out how or what made the cracks. I appreciate this information meanwhile.

To quote the great actor Steven Segal:

and bustag's favorite:

"You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherf&^%$#s."

Maybe some more fact finding should have been done before dragging someones name throught the mud.

Do you actually expect the machine shop to fess up if they are the cause of the problem? I highly doubt that is gonna happen.

Nobody is saying your machine guy doesn't know what he is doing!!!! I think the whole thing comes down to you have used motors that were getting down to the last stages of their life expectancy...you were lokking for a deal and you got what you paid for!!!!
