Default My Nightmare

Just like to share my $12,000 nightmare. Had a engine build built by Protech Racing in Oakville. They installed heads/intake and cam and tuned it. The engine is now broken because the pistons hit the valves. They claim it dropped all the valves and the problem was the AFR valves. After having it checked by 2 engine builder, its clearly a clearance problem

These people are thief's and hope this saves someone from getting scammed

It was a full engine build, or you paid $12,000 for just the heads/intake/cam/tune??

Ya gotta wonder about newbies that come in here and with their first post, warn users about a shop.

Could be true, could be someone with a beef to grind, but unless it's substantiated, take it with a grain of salt.

So true...not taking any sides here but if you got nailed for 12k you should state your name and post some pics of damage or poor workmanship.

If true, small claims court is where I would take this one. Did it with a GM dealer with my first Vette and won. Good luck.
