I did not realize that lacking a thorough understanding of the "realities" of this situation meant I could not offer an observation. I clearly haven't much dealings with high performance mechanics. Just a builder that built me a pair of 540 CID 700HP engines and has built many basic to 1500 HP motors.
I was merely pointing out the futility of getting upset with a pretty standard warranty.
Want some warranty reading - go ahead.

Most big name builders (ie. Sterling, Chief, Teague, Young) do not post their warranties online (nothing implied just an observation). Want to read some really consumer friendly warranties. Take a look at those extended car warranties.

This is simply the most outrageous warranty I have ever seen. I know you are trying to cover your exposure to misuse, but come on.
If a customer installs his own engine himself, it's out of warranty. No wonder you have only a 50% customer satisfaction history.
If a customer ever has any problem at all, you have a legal out. I can't believe anyone reading this document would ever do business with your shop.
You may be cheap, as one post mentioned, but cheap is never a good thing to be in the world of high performance engines.

"Notice none of the big players start this up lubejobs, blume, dolla, animalhouse, pblams, and slw388 just to name a few. I dont know how you guys have the time to ramble on about something that has zero bearing on your life."
When I see a fellow boater broken down with his engine hatch up, it "has zero bearing on my life", but I ALWAYS swing around to see if I can help. When I see a stranded person on the interstate, it "has zero bearing on my life" but I am going to stop and call for help if needed. If someone needs my help on a project that "has zero bearing on my life," I will offer assistance if I am able. I am not sure what a "big player" here is, but I know I am not one. But I am happy being a "small player" who can be counted on to help when needed. That is my only motivation here as my time is my most valuable commodity. You may find it silly to stand up against a possible wrong and speak out for the downtrodden, but if there is such a thing as a "big player" here on OSO, I would hope that is how they roll also. I do not mean to anger you or anyone else here, because as you point out, I am new here, so everyone to me has no postion in the pecking order. You are all equal and I try and be cordial and polite to all, even the much hated PokerRun. But that is just how I roll. Dan

There is no such thing as a "trustworthy" engine buuilder.... just ask "one" of the dissatified cutomers that EVERY engine builder has had to deal with at one time or another.... for engine builders the old saying is "F a r t once & they call you stinky for the rest of your life".....

I'm really surprised this thread has not been moved to the proper forum, seeing that mods have posted in here.
