It was delivered to my buddy's machine shop, and he had no idea what was coming in! I Figured it would save me a two hour trip to the shop, since it was going there anyhow. It's now @ So Cal, in Guy's hands, since he has spare caps ect. if needed. It has been named the "Bastard Block"...

Wow.... why the hell is he even allowed here? I would literally leave the motor on his front door step with a lawsuit sitting on top of it. That is total BS. And the nerve to say you got what you paid for? I thought these shots at Wade were in a semi-joking matter. Hmm....man I'm sorry that happened to you. What a prick.

"You are lying because the customer was taken care of and did not ask for a refund, if he had he would have recieved it. True the block had 13 hours on it. With over 35 engines sold and one complaint i'd say that they got what they paid for. You know what you should be doing is asking BOTH parties involved BEFORE you ASSume your normal position. I have never seen a honest mistake turn into such defamation as you and your cronies have made it."


Wade, I have held this back long enough so im going to let it out. Anybody who knows me, will tell you im a lay'd back guy, and don't let anything get to me. This has been one of the things I let get to me, but kept my cool over it. I purchased an LBZ from you because of the low hours that were supposed to be on these blocks. I made a point to ask if the block was runable and had no major problems. You told me that it had a small ding on the front main cap. I was cool with this, because I have had major dings repaired in the past, and you said it would hone out. One cap was not an issue with me. It first started out with shipping the block, it took forever, but it was around the holidays and I let it slide. When the block arrived at the shop it was missing ALL of the mains, ALL of the rod caps, timing cover was cracked, water pump had a hole in it, adapter plate was missing about a 6"x6" chunk, the CP3 was smashed, Balancer was badly damaged, and the rods, with no caps, scored the crank durring shipping. I was pissed, but being the person I am, I let you know what was wrong politley. I waited over a month to get a set of rods, that looked like they were sitting outside for the last year, along with two main caps. One of the rods (Picture in previous post) had a cap that did not match. I called back, and you swore up and down that the rods were a matching set, and you checked them out personally. About another month later I recieved (5) more caps making a total of seven, obviously not from the same engine! A week later I recieved a single rod. I called and asked about the block and you finally fessed up and said another motor had fallen on it. I also asked about the block's visual, and you said you had left it sitting outside, because you didn't have the room. I cut my looses with the other parts (CP3, timing cover, water pump, Bal, Adapt plate etc.), because I had enough of your BS, not because everything was taken care of.

"With over 35 engines sold and one complaint i'd say that they got what they paid for"
Im sorry you look at your customers this way, as we don't see eye to eye on this. One complaint is enough, and I make sure ALL of my customers are happy whether I loose money or not. Yes, I have had a few take advantage of this, but the customer count grows faster when you gain trust. A customer that trusts you will tell his friends. A customer that get's burned, will tell the world! Knock Knock!!!

"You know what you should be doing is asking BOTH parties involved BEFORE you ASSume your normal position"
Wade, Pat spoke with myself then contacted you, so I think this was not an ASSumption!

One last thing, you should ask your rod mfg. how much HP/weight you could free up, if you left the rod caps out of the blueprints.

Don't you just hate when someone comes in and screws up a good thread with the facts. :eek:

I hope you get that block straightened out. Good Luck.

I think if Wade yells LIAR a few more times, then the engine will miraculously transform into his description of it.

Now, if someone describes something as lightly damaged, and like new, and delivers a busted up POS that is missing critical parts, like main caps, exactly how much faith should you place in Wade's descriptions of things that he has a financial interest in.

While aluminum rods might be a viable component in a racing diesel, I for one would never automatically believe any info on the subject coming from someone who will say anything for a dollar.

Actually, non members can click on the link and see the complete post, except for the pictures. That part is set up just like you have it here.

Also there is no one banned or that can not sign up over there.

It wasn't intended as a slight against your board. It is something I've posted before several times. It's always a good policy to copy at least some of the content when cross-linking tech.

I've been getting that message since shortly after your board began.
