I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO TEARING DOWN MY ENGINE AND IT HAS A SPUN BEARING AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THE BLOCK OR CRANK HAS BEEN COMPRIMISED. THEN TURBO HAS WAY TO MUCH PLAY IN THE SHAFT. THERE ARE FOUR BROKEN STUDS ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. RB20 RADIATOR CAME DAMAGED. THE INTERCOOLER IS CRACKED. AHH I HOPE THIS DOESN'T BECOME A NIGHTMARE. ALL I WANTED WAS A GOOD ENGINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE HAMMERED THE **** OUT OF IT. OHH WELL I HOPE THEY COME THROUGH.

THE BULLETIN BOARD AUTOMATICALLY LOWER CASES THE WORDS THATS WHY THEY ARE RANDOMLY LOWER CASED. I KNOW THEY WILL I WAS JUST A LITTLE PISSED TO PULL IT APART AND SEE THAT. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THEY WANT FROM ME? I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED/DESTROYED PARTS, BUT WILL THEY WANT ME TO SEND THE MOTOR BACK TO THEM? CAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO SHIP THAT STUFF RIGHT NOW. I HATE BILLS.

I doubt it. When they were confused on my shipment, they offered to send me a front clip with a stripped number 3 spark plug hole. Instead of sendign another head or waiting for me to call, they offered to send a spare long block.....so I doubt you would have to send back the motor.

PAYING HALF IS A WHOLE LOT LESS FOR ALL OF IT.

Well they are going to do good on their part. They are going to replace the damage. They are a great company besides what anyone says. I have noticed that the people who dog them are the ones who don't pay attention to their policies. I would recommend them to anyone.

They sound like a good company to me as far as service goes. I've heard a LOT of stories about getting bad parts/engines, but they are good about fixing their mistakes. If (when) I don't get my engine from Cameron I'm probably going to give them a try.
