WakkoWarner Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I had to dump a nice chunk of change into my hot rod recently, due to a torque converter company cutting corners and an engine builder also cutting corners. It sucks to have to shell out money because of other people's dishonesty. Just wanted to vent. Have a good night, all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Str8Shooter Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Been there. I feel your pain.I built a mild street engine for my truck. Fuel injected, super smooth .586 lift cam with 1.6 rockers, but when the machine shop balanced my flywheel, they drilled holes in the outside edge, which is the tone ring for the crank sensor. They told me it was okay, but nope. So out comes the transmission and t-case. I took the flywheel back, they fixed it, and I tried it again. Nope. They cheaply filled the holes with epoxy. Out came the transmission again. They finally got me a new flywheel.Grrrrrrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David13 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Any time you rebuild an old car, a jalopy, an old truck, etc., you can be assured: If you put $30,000.00 into it, into the rebuild, etc., you will be guaranteed, if you want to sell it, that you will get $15,000.00.I know.I'm still a boy and I like to play with my toys.I'm looking for another tractor now.dc Blackmarch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
