Default Re: What is wrong with my motor? Figure this one out!!

I have a friend that kept sending complete engines back to his builder too. The stories they came up with were unbelievable as to what went wrong each time. I would suggest you be there for the grand opening. When my friend finally took his own engine apart, the real story came out. The rings were sticking in the grooves and caused all kinds of blow-by. The piston manufacturer and the ring manufactured weren't getting the real story from the builder. When both manufacturers were contacted on a conference call, the problems were discussed and finally cured like they should have been two years earlier. I know that no one wants to believe their engine builder is incompetent, but the covering up and excuses go on all the time. It's in your best interest to see what's inside when he opens it up.
