Found a Problem, Engine Builders Check out these Pics

Threads do get better results than e-mails, pm's, and phone calls. Zack was contacted and wanted no further info about the topic stating it was fine. Opinions vary:
Let it be known that very few shops ever want to look at work they didnt do. RJ was told once, "I dont touch other people's ***-ups" when he approached one shop in person.

It took 5 pages of member/sponsor backing and now you're getting taken care of. TSP is obviously a good shop, they've been around for a long time and they have alot of engines out there, it's just that every engine can't turn out perfect, from ANY builder, period.
You should feel pretty good, you'll be back on the road soon

I've talked with the RJ & we're going to get her coming back here for inspection. I'll keep everyone posted.

Hahaha I didn't even know it was a TSP block so I hope TSP isn't mad at me too! I am sure they will take care of you though. I know most of the guys that do TSP's stuff up there and they are good guys. The blocks I got were from way up North!
#69
Yea those guys are pretty stand up. I'm in the process of taking the block out now. Should be out in a day. I got a job ya know I'm sure they will be forthright with whatever they find. My fault or something in the build we'll get it worked out. For educational purposes I'll post on what we find.

I am looking for a shortblock myself. If anything this whole thing has made me want to do business with TSP. They seem respected by the other builders on here, they have great prices, and they are taking care of a problem that might not even be their fault.
#71
Glad you are getting it taken care of. The only reason I suggested naming the sponsor was to speed up the process. And look at this....the owner posts up who it was and 27 minutes later TSP is stepping up and taking care of him.
I reccomended them before and will continue to do so. And if anyone has any doubts about the build.......I just helped a friend pull his heads off a TSP 383 and it looks perfect in there. No marks or anything. So......if this was caused by the builder I would say it's an isolated incident. Either way TSP has stepped up again.

Hahaha when I started reading this thread....two things came to mind. This is either the work of TSP or Scoggin Dickey. Hey Trevor I will take you up on that offer, I would LOVE to be there when you tear down this 403. Only a couple companies on this board ever have trouble w/ shortblocks, and those compaines seem to be involved time and time again. I love how you guys state "we sell hundreds of shortblocks every year". When the truth is you maybe did 60 last year tops. And of those I have seen over 5 diffrent cases of people having problems. What about all those Dart heads you guys ported, or PRC ( ohh wait thats you guys also) I think we all know what happened there. If it was my money Katech and W2w seem to be TOP NOTCH. I hope this issue gets resolved, but I have a feeling you won't see any of your money back; and this will be a long drawn out process.

I agree VERY GOOD customer service!

The invitation was for the other shops posting. This implies that you have to know what you're talking about, which you don't. You're an under-achieving agitator that is still bitter because we would not hire you. You're still an expert on our business, too, it seems. You have absolutely ZERO to contribute to this thread, or any of our threads for that matter. Feel free to stop by and discuss this further Mr. Ricky Box.
