Micah, so when does the warranty end?
Now there might be some extenuating circumstances, I don't have a feel for a lot of details.
But if a guy builds a big motor, and then waits a year for a transmission, the engine warranty expires and that's the way it is, unless there was an agreement with the engine company.

We have debating on whether to keep this thread open or not in the admin section.
I'm going to work on our guidelines for threads like this.
I totally recall iateyourcat posting about building this motor a while ago. I"m sorry to see folks not figuring out problems together.
I feel like we are being spoon fed details and we might not have the whole story. I'm not sure what the point of this thread is, is it to slam MMS? If you looking for love in this thread (iateyourcat) I think you are getting mixed responses.
Since the motor was out of the warranty period you would been in a situation where you were looking for MMS to work with you on a mutually agreeable solution.
I'm sure that MMS mentioned to you several times verbally that you had a one-year engine warranty if you did not use nitrous.
I'm not seeing major value in this thread but I don't want the last word... And fimal comments from either side before this is locked?

My intention here was to reach a fair solution. IMO, fair means getting what I paid for and considering that I paid sooo much money, I can't settle for anything less.
I understand that it looks like 18 months from MMS's point of view. But, from my point of view the problem was two weeks old. And considering how often dropped sleeves happened in the 2001 blocks, it won't be hard to document the problem, nor the resolutions. I shouldn't be denied this fair resolution.

..you can rename the thread too if it would make it clearer. How about "Dropped Sleeves"?

My eyes hurt from trying to reread the thread and get all the facts..
I see that you got the motor aroujnd 11/01 and the intake on 3/02, I think I have that right.
So the one year warranty should start as soon as you were supplied all the parts from MMS that were spec'd as part of the package.
Have you already engaged Moore on the car? I can see the heartache but you should pay about a grand to pull the motor and $250 so ship it to MMS. If you paid substantially more than that for the removal or teardown you are overpaying. I was told by Tony that there were labor figures in the thread but I could not find them. I heard some big numbers for labor charges.
In future if folks want more out of a thread like this, why don't you post all the details, in order, along with the other mods you have to the car. I never saw anywhere an explanation why the car has low miles on it if if the motor was delivered in 10/01... when did it actually go in the car? What did it dyno?
I once had a motor that had problems and I documented everything I did while the problem was ocurring. I would call and give the shop updates. We got along fine during the warranty process.
I'm not against Iateyourcat or MMS I am opposed to threads like this where we get additional facts every ten posts or so...

Sound right?
..there's a lot of info here, I had a lot done. Also, the car had less than 3000 miles on it when I took it in. ..just another thing to add to my misery.

Since both involved parties have stated that closing this thread would be acceptable, I'll go ahead and do so. I'll be moving it to the buyer/seller feedback forum instead.
Feel free to keep us updated on the situation, but use a more suitable forum if it will eventually stray from actual technical discussion.
Thanks, and best of luck to all involved parties. I guess the court system will decide the outcome.
