Looking for a good shop
#63
So I guess you actually mic'd the bearing right??? They were within spec. 97/98's have the best cam bearings in them. Why replace something when its still good???? As far as the rod bolts that was a mix up and when you brought that to my attention I reimbursed your for them, but I guess it would have been better to go the route that you wanted right? Stock rods and arp 2000 bolts and as much spray as you could through at it. Hmmmm...wonder how long that would have lasted compared to us convincing you to spend the extra $500 or so and put some decent forged rods in your damn motor. My bad that those rods didnt work with the ARP2000's we had to work withing your given price range and thats the rods that you could afford. Not to mention that the motor was allready assembled and I didnt charge you for dissasembly re-balancing and re-assembly. I think you made out on that end and ended up with a stronger engine so quit your bitching!!
I wasn't going to spray a **** load on stock rods. Just a 150 shot which will hold just fine.
ARP2000 rod bolts DO work on those rods. Unless you lied and they aren't the Manley rods you charged me for. I talked to Manley personally and they said when you order them you have the option to opt for ARP2000s if you want. So yes you did reimburse me and thats cool and I'm pretty much over it, but if you want to bring it up. YOU DID LIE AND YOU DID NOT BOTHER CHANGING THE CAM BEARINGS.
Don't bring it up, I won't have to keep reminding people

Woo hoo, my 100% factory suspension, full weight, Camaro on full sized wheels and tires with a 26" ET street cut 1.4s whats your point? And that was on a stock motor (and a stock 10 bolt for that matter)

i got you arp 2000 rod bolts for youyr stock rods like you asked, but we ended up going to a manley rod, and with your limited funds, you could not afford the arp 2000 bolt upgrade, you asked me if the arp 2000 rod bolts that i got for your stock rods would fit in the manley rods, i said they would not they are different bolt. as far as your cam bearings they were within spec, and i did not charge you to replace them, so whats your point? if i charged you for cam bearings, and did not replace them, then i can see your gripe, but that is not the case.
As far as the cam bearings, you did charge me for engine debur and hone and all that crap and respectable shop would remove them to clean the engine. The compound eats away at the bearing material. Thats why you suppose to remove them when you dunk the motor. You should know this already though right?
Don't bullshit with me, I'm not some random kid with no clue. I have talked to a few different shop owners about it and they said they would never dunk a motor with any bearings still in it. So man up and admit you fucked up on that one. I really don't give a **** anymore but if you want to keep bringing it up I will keep reminding you that you fucked up.

no you paid for arp 2000 bolts for a stock rod, and i didnt take it off the invoice, then you brought it to my attention, i went ahead and reimbursed you the money because it was my fault. your manley rods came with 8740 bolts, those were the only one i could get at the time quickly, and at the factory 6.100 length. also i didnt not hot tank your block , i put it in large parts washer, and also hand cleaned the block. so if you want to keep going with this fine, i will also remind you, that you really dont have a clue ...... go ahead continue ryan, like i said all this your saying right now, you wouldnt have the ***** to say any of it to my face when you see me at meets, you are just a keyboard warrior that believes everything my "competitors" tell you i did wrong.
And BTW its not your competitors that said any of this. Unless you count QMP, Santa ana speed, and bensons automotive as your competitors. And the fact that I didn't mention CMS or Ryne when I asked about it.

And if you are so pissed that you have to call around looking for me saying your going to come **** me up (which sounds real professional by the way ) then you have ******* problems. If you want me to tell you that I believe you fucked up on the rod bolts and that you and RPM didn't do what your suppose to (remove cam bearings) then by all means I will. But as far as I'm concerned
I DONT GIVE A ****!!!!!!! ITS ******* OVER WITH ITS FIXED NOW!
I didnt even bring your ******* name into this until you stepped in. If you cant handle some criticism from a customer that doesnt even mention your ******* name. You need to go somewhere else to work on that. Its usually the people that are wrong that get so pissed off. Look how well danny took all the accusations on him. He just said I'm done with it and if you want you can come to the shop and we can discuss this in a professional manner. Maybe you need to try that sometime.

danny also hasnt had a little punk riding his *** on the boards for 6+ months now, i am sick and tired of you, frankly just fed up, and ryan when i see there will some words thrown, and maybe some other things thrown as well, because i am sick of you, i do my best to take care of each and every customer that comes to me, i go the extra mile for every customer, and that includes your ignorant ***, and yeah i have bride in that fact, and when someone constantly rides my *** over and over, i get fed up. i really dont care at this point if its professional or not, you dont have the ***** to talk or even call me with your issues, so being professional is out the door with you......

By all means lock it. Like I said I'm done with him unless he wants to bring **** up, then I will remind him and just link him to this thread. And if it gets deleted its ok because I have a bunch of screen shots of all the post that I can link him too.
