Default NICK AGOSTINO or anyone from ARE

please call me or someone at ARE tell Nick to call me, I have left too many messages to mention plus numerous e-mails ... I would like to get my motor problems taken care of. Thanks

Besides that, to keep to the forum topic ... anyone know what the maximum bore on the stock sleeves is or should be? Are there aftermarket over sized stock rings?

Damn, as busy as it sounds like ARE is I've never really had much trouble getting in touch with Nick.

Early in the morning or late in the evening seem to be the best times. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I get a hold of Nick when I need too, or Barry, just leave a message with Kathy. Best time is in the morning.

They seem to forget a lot. It's unfortunate, I really wanted to use them when I go to a bigger motor, but I'm tired of getting the run-a-round.

it took about 3 months for each motor i have had done to finally make it to my house. lord knows how long it would have been if i wasnt calling and reminding them almost every day.
correction-> leaving messages for them to be reminded, because everyone always happend no not be available..

they need more, and more importantly knowledged staff so that they can deal with their customers appropriately.

Eh...ya just have to keep calling. I usually get through after a few tries, but almost always get through. If Nick answered every phone call and email that was for him personally...he would literally have no time for engine building.

I had a good wait after my motor was ordered. But when it arrived everything was exactly as I wanted. And top notch. Well worth the wait. And the support I have been given so far has been great. I am a satisfied customer. Just have to be persistant with the phone calls! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
