This hurts
well my 540 was on its way to me when I got the call that the forklift driver knoced my crate off the dock and down it went.It landed on the left head and look where the valve stems come through the head.The dmage is pretty significant.The entire motor is coming apart and being completely checed for cracks and the all new parts will go back on.

I would have sent it back for a new one. At the shipping company's expense, of course.
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

I'm really glad to hear that. With the horror stories I've been hearing about shipping claims I'm almost suprised.
