      Raw deal?

      You tell me.
      A (well known) company that specializes in building LS engines asks you to list the items you need in your engine build.
      You specifically request a certain reluctor wheel for your application and it is clearly listed on the build sheet.
      The engine arrives and is sent to your mechanic for installation.
      You assume everything in the motor is correct (you did pay big $$$ for this reason) and the engine is installed into the vehicle.
      When you try and fire the motor you then realize the reluctor wheel is wrong.



      The company said it will have the motor picked up, freighted back to them and torn apart and the correct reluctor installed then shipped back to you.
      Now….. Who pays for the labor for the motor to be removed and installed for the seconded time?


      The motor was assembled incorrectly by them!
      The installation had nothing to do with the problem.

      What do you think?

      As frustrating as it is I have never seen any company pay for labor done by an outside source.

      Just like if you buy a water pump and it goes out under warranty. They will swap out the pump but its up to you to replace it.

      Yep, most woarrinties are stated that is does not cover that kind of work. IT sucks, but thats the fine print.

      Yeah, I totally agree too. That manual labor part is something we eat.


      It sucks but I don't think there's a thing you can do about it but put it behind ya.
