I asked three very simple questions:
If the short blocks where or where not out of his boat- how does that affect the amount of time needed to disassemble and assess?
When the blocks where accepted was there a time frame discussed?
Saber28 stated he called at one point and told the "next week". Do you confirm or deny this?

Hi
My name is Dave Wesseldyk owner of Wesco Racing Engines.
Early in September Scott droped two short blocks off at my shop.
September 29th the short blocks where disassembled.
November 7th pistons where removed from the rods.
The next week I called Scott told him what we found and asked him to stop by and look at his parts.He told me he was very busy at work and would not be able to get there before 5:00.I told Scott I'm in my shop from 9am to 9pm seven days a week.
Some time in the next week Scott stopped down to the shop I showed Scott the bad crank I measured the block's with him standing right there.Scott wanted to get the parts himself to save money.He didn't like that the cranks where mismatched.One block was .030 over size I told Scott we can use the .030 pistons in the other block and get one new set.When Scott left he was not sure what he wanted to do rebuild or buy something else. Scott never dropped off any parts for us to work with.
December 13th seven weeks later Scott showed up at my shop looking for me.My nephew told Scott Dave is out of town at the PRI show and will be back tomorrow.Scott seen his blocks sitting on carts. Scott demanded his parts right now and tried to intimidate my nephew into letting him have them.Scott was told nothing leaves this shop with out Dave OK.Scott then had a temper tantrum and stormed out.
First Scott tries to take his parts with out paying thats steeling from me.
Second Scott gives My nephew a hard time in my shop.I will not tolerate that from anybody.
Yes I was MAD.
December 14th Scott walks in to my shop I started yelling at Scott until he ran out the door.The same day Scott starts lying about me on OSO .
December 16 Scott payed his bill and took his parts.
I have been in this business for for over 20 years Scott is the first guy that I have run out of my shop.
It's to bad it happened.
Dave

So not only did he tear them down, but he removed the pistons from the rods (that was never confirmed when I asked earlier) and measured the bores, pistons, cranks, etc. In that case, the $400 charge is more than fair.
Obviously, the 2 stories vary greatly. Dave has a great rep around here so i think you will have an uphill battle here Saber. There are countless guys that will stand up for Dave on this and many other sites. Bottom line is that you asked if the charge was fair......YES, it is fair.
Let this thread go away. There is no good going to come from it.

im sorry but i dont believe he did not measure the crank journal diameters and bore dias,but you have already called him a liar,at this point im thinking you are confused.i know several people who have used this builder and swear by him although 3 months does seem like a long time to do the work.when you dropped off the shortblocks did you tell him[NO HURRY ON THIS]?i think we all deserve all the facts at this point!
