ARE will and have stood behind all our big-bore blocks and all our engines 100%. Even through thick & thin.. Yes you can use nitrous or boost on our blocks too! Now up to 4.155 on LS2 blocks now.

No one person or business is perfect, mistakes do happen. We like everyone else try to keep them to a minimum because they cost money - both in customer goodwill and actual monies out of pocket, not to mention time and aggravation for everyone involved.

A certain big inch C5R headed dope motor comes to mind. And trust me I am the farthest thing from a MTI nutrider.
Maybe so Sled but plenty of guys have been screwed by ARE and have been waiting YEARS for repairs.I wouldnt buy gum off ARE,U Sled shouldve opened your OWN shop,U wouldve been $$$$$$$$$$$$$$..
I hope u guys get ARE straightened out as u did at one time have nice stuff,I dont wish bad things on pople.
LastLS1 is at least getting taken care of and thats whats important.

Easy guys! Steve will have engine Wednesday. We'll see what happens then. Remember, I think every shop has problems to one extent. It's finding out what and who caused the problem. THEN seeing how the problem is taken care of! This never should have gone this far. Soon, time will tell.

LASTLS1 I wish you better luck than I had with (Money Takers Inc.) MTI about a year ago with a set of stage 2E heads. I did manage to find one good use for the heads. After I cut them up with a saw they made great throtline weights at lake Sam Rayburn. If you would have made this post about a year ago you would have been blasted clean off the boards or your post deleted. Again good luck! I wish you well.

I am following this closely. I bought my Darton sleeved block from MTI a month before yours.
Kind of scary to think I've got $2,500 of leaky block sitting in a crate out in the garage.
Unfortunately funds haven't come about to finish the rotating assembly, so there is no telling when I will find out if mine holds water.
