Alright fellas I took an LS6 block, crank, wiseco pistons and Manley rods to a well known shop to be machined and assem. That was almost a year ago, already paid for it all to be done. Im startin to get frustrated cuz I need it home time to finish it and get it in the car. Should I go up there and raise hell or what?

 

did they give you any kind of time frame for it to be completed?

A year is a long time for a shop to have the motor, at the very least id give them a call and see whats up..

 

Man as soon as I paid they told me be done in 2 weeks n that was a year ago! Ive called them a few times to check in and thay tell me itl be done next week, itl be done next week for the last fn year..

 

if thats the case then yeah , i think id go (be civil) and see whats up in person. then , if need be, raise a little hell....

 

+1

 

You fucked up by paying in full.... they are too busy doing the paying jobs now... same thing happened to me when I paid in full for a paintjob on one of my cars a few years ago.. I waited 9 months for paint.... just over 3k and by the time i started threatening legal action, I got the car back with a rush job that looked like ****....

 

Sounds pretty ridiculous .... I would have already raised hell if it were my motor .

 

Yeah I would just show up and request a refund and your stuff. If they say they'll have it in a few days I would refuse because you don't want a rush job and not leave there w/o your ****.

A year is WAAAY beyond reasonable....

 

It's time to go get your stuff out of there...that is beyond BS.

If they quoted you 2 weeks, and it took more than a month I would have been already up there to get my stuff back and a refund.

Even if they get your car back in a week I would not accept it, they probably will rush the hell out of it just to get it done and you don't want that with a shortblock. Time to find a different engine builder.

 

Small claims court if they give you grief.
47 to go...

 

my machine shop told me they could have a my block freshened up with new bearings and forged internals in about 1.5weeks. so ya, it shouldn't take you a year to get anything. unless ur buying a damn Ferrari.... thats bullshit dude
