I built the engine for John,
You work at F2? How many MZR's have you built, not just "Duratecs"
Forzda remebers talking to me.
I identified his engine hydro-locking for too much meth-injection.
What nozzle was it using. I'd speculate system malfunction before too much meth, but I don't know the exact details.
I built his engine. I made my recommendations, and follow the customers request. He had an agenda, and choose not to follow our many recommendations.
No offense, but I haven't met a shop that doesn't have its own agenda as well.
This bolt, doesnt come loose, it gets shocked.
It can come loose if not installed properly.
In my opinion, I have yet to see the car, the clutch played a roll, as well as many dyno pulls.
John, was on location during most of the reassemle of the engine, as well as the weeks it took to figure out his turbo setup.
Your lack of knowledge is starting to show. See next topic
His clutch is meant for a fwd MS3, but since it fit, he wanted it.
They are the same clutch kit. You fail here. Stop blaming the clutch for another issue.
Point I am trying to say, is this car is far from stock, We were never given a chance to double check or Quality control anything, since john was without a car.
This bolt should have been checked well before the point of going in the car. It sounds like you are looking for an out.
We expressed to john that we had procedures, break-in, fit/finish, clearences and retorque of various components of a vehicle repair before the customer picks up their car.
Understandable, but you still wouldn't have check this specific bolt again. If you say you would have you are lying. The install sequence was stated above. That's not a spec you can recheck.
But John needed his car. So he took the car as soon as it started. F2 would have been happy to make a build path for his car, but he wanted something else.
He had a build path and just went to you for a motor assembly was the understanding many of us had. Why would he need you to give him a new path? Maybe your agenda didn't coincide with his?
Anything we build in excess of 300 hp, gets an ARP front crank bolt.
So you installed that on this car? Does ARP have different torque seqence that the OEM bolt?
Now, I have more info for all disi owners, Mazda is having a problem with timing chain stretch, on the disi engine. It's strectching so bad, that the chain is contacting the Aluminum vlave cover.
Old news.
Johns car is not stock, thats one reason F2 did not grant any form of warranty.
Was this expressed up front before the build? What type of warranty would you give if you assembled a bone stock MZR motor? With your BSD kit?[/b]
