Dyno-Flo defends their position.
this is a short block built in 2005 that the customer had a person that he refers to as a mechanic build the engine, and install it in his vehicle. I received the call about this about 10 days ago. First of all, after 16 months, there is nothing that I can say or do. Please, that is just silly. Most guys won't even talk to you about a problem after 30 days let alone 16 months. Secondly, the engine was completely assembled by this " mechanic" not a shop. Somebody did something somewhere. He did try to tell me that we didn't torque the bolts. I have two seperate people torque the bolts on every shortblock. This is specifically to avoid any issues like this from occuring. Although, now we will also include with every shortblock.a note that verifies that every bolt was double checked, but for them to also check them, not because we have issues, but because customers will try to blame anyone who touches an engine besides themselves. Let me clarify quite clearly that we are not some fly by night scammer working out of his house or some back alley shop. WE ARE A QUITE LEGITIMATE, 10,000SQFT PRO RACE SHOP, WITH MACHINE SHOP, CNC MACHINE, DYNO FACILITY, AND RETAIL SHOWROOM [SPEEDSHOP]. WE HAVE OVER 100 DART BLOCKS IN STOCK, 2 MILLION IN INVENTORY ALL HARDCORE, NO BLEMS OR JUNK. i PERSONALLY DYNO EVERY COMPLETE ENGINE PRIOR TO SHIPPING. I HAVE NEVER LOST AN ENGINE IN 8 MINUTES, I HAVE NEVER LOST AN ENGINE DUE TO LOOSE ROD BOLTS. THIS DYNO RUNS BETWEEN 3-6 ENGINES A WEEK THAT WE BUILD IN HOUSE. I HAVE DYNOED OVER 1000 ENGINES SINCE OPENING IN 1995, AND THESE FACTS ARE STILL THE SAME AND TRUE. WE ARE NOT PERFECT. BUT WE ARE ABOUT THE MOST HONEST JOINT IN THE COUNTRY, WE PROVIDE SERIOUS VALUE AND HORSEPOWER THAT NO ONE CAN MATCH FOR EVEN NEAR THE PRICE. SOME GUYS CLAIM TO HAVE SET TRACK RECORDS, YES WE HAVE TOO, BUT WE ALSO HAVE WON A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2005 IN IHRA. COUNTLESS TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS IN CIRCLETRACK, AND DRAG. WE HAVE TOP SPEED RECORDS ON THE WATER IN VARIOUS CLASSES. SILLY ALLEGATIONS THAT WE ARE SCAMMERS, IS JUST IGNORANT. as for some of the idiots on here. 3 in particular that seem to want to talk and talk. mike the belair boys, you are just pissed because you tried to screw me and didn't get away with it. by the way an ase tech means that you took a test that says you can swap alternators woopee!!!. hammer time, you've been talkin shit for a long time, yet you never bought anything. he says everyone sucks, and then always says to go to suncoast race engines. then there is dumb ass 11 second jay nakamura who bought an engine in in 2002 ran it until 2003, then decided to relash his valves for the first time since buying the engine and he crashed all the valves bending 13 pushrods breaking 2 and dropping a valve into a piston. he then claims that we don't know how to build an engine. by the way jay is also an ase "mechanic" I guess he failed the valve lashing portion of his test. NO ONE WHO EVER BOUGHT ANYTHING FROM US WILL EVER CLAIM HONESTLY THAT WE FAILED TO SHIP A DEAD HONEST PRODUCT PERIOD. i did see a post from a guy out of canada who mentions a laundry list of engine building sins including using a 427 crank in a 454 and such, he was not referring to us. IF YOU ARE NERVOUS ABOUT ONE OF OUR ENGINES, ORDER IT AND THEN COME ON DOWN TO WATCH IT RUN ON THE DYNO [after all it is las vegas] IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT WE'LL BUILD YOU ANOTHER. I HAVE NEVER HAD A GUY COME GET HIS MOTOR WHO WAS DISAPOINTED. STILL NERVOUS, BUY THE PARTS AT THE BEST PRICES AROUND AND HAVE YOUR GUY DO THE WORK. no we don't tell people how to do it over the phone, we get paid for that. ANY QUESTIONS CAN BE DIRECTED TO ME. I AM SCOT SLOTTEN [NOT SOME LAME ALIAS LIKE THESE GUTLESS ANONYMOUS ACCUSERS] OWNER OF DYNO-FLO. 702-567-3035 SHOP HOURS 8A-6P M-F PACIFIC TIME AND MOST SAT 9-5.
