I think it was wrong of him to post up about it , but he's understandingly upset.
This would ruin anyone's next few months.
He should talk to PP first & he realized it.
If you look at the post he was wanting to keep this on the D/L for now so he can talk to Terry.
There a right way to go about it & a wrong way....
All he can count on is that they do the right thing.

Funny how its "****" and "gonna get ugly". No need for that, just need to get to the bottom/find the cause/find the solution. Posted as an FYI, and a heads up. If the same heads I have had a catastrophic failure causing major engine damage, I'd like to know about it, and would like to think it wouldn't be swept under the table. Terry has stepped up in the past, we at least have to give him a chance to do he right thing (if indeed it was caused by the heads).

Let's just hope for our friends sake that Patriot steps up and does the right thing.

who was the person that diagnosed the welded heads caused the problems, this is the first i've heard about this from the tons of heads patriot has on the market. Its easy to point fingers, lets give it time to make sure that the heads were responsible before you try and make terry replace someone's motor. What cam was in the car? who did the installation? were 1500 of the 3000 miles track miles? any other damage? There are a lot of variables to this. Asking for a replacement set of heads in 1 thing. Asking for compensation for towing, gas, rental car, new motor, time off work, etc is pushing it... IMO of course. Regardless i hope all works out for you and you get the car back on the road asap. Good luck sorry to hear about your misfortune.
