Comp bent over backwards for me when I had the defective 918 beehives a few years back as well as the episode where the painted quality control dots peeled off the Comp ground cam and got into the oil passages and plugged a couple main bearing passages.
They hooked me up REAL good.

If you have a cherri picker than you can use it to move car around with the sus. out. I used a chain and bolted it where the bolts go in the frame for the k-member. Car pushes easy like that and when its time to put engine/sus. back in its safer to use the cherripicker to lift it up and set on jackstands and roll the engine combo under and rehook the picker back up and lower down ont k-member. Works better then a floor jack and is safer. Just my $.02

Yea well they shouldn't! Thats what quality control is for. I could see this happening on a cheap knock off no name brand component. I have ran comp for years with no problems also, but I would rather spend money on a part that has no known failures. I have not given up on comp yet, were puttin in a set of high tech stainless 1.7's next week. I guess it's a false sense of security idk...

Now this is just my take on things, which really doesn't matter in the long run.

Im not bashing comp! Its just the simple fact that when you hear of a few rocker incidents that toast a motor, tends to make you want to change things to protect a 5k+ motor from taking a ****! It's not like they pay to fix it, even if they replace the parts, that still does not fix the motor. I totally understand that stuff happens, it does everyday in all aspects of life.

After reading about your problems and a few other posts this week I will be staying away from Comp if possible from now on. I understand all companys have their problems but this seems to me like they don't keep track of their out sourcing quality control.

I am also glad they are willing to help him, but they wouldn't even replace a single lifter for me. Think they charged my shop $16 bucks for one but wouldn't give me it
.My new build will be running either GMPP LS7 or Morel link bar lifters, TFS pushrods, and DRE rockers(one of the USA manufacturers for a lot of other companies, like the COMP race stuff). No comp parts for me except the cam
. Not because I don't trust them - they are good quality stuff for the most part, but because they didn't give me the service I think I deserved after buying 600+ dollars worth of valvetrain parts from them and not getting back a $16 item 
.
