I'm not only a member here, but of several others....all of which have folks who are Marshall target customers. Normally once a person learns the benefits of a Forum Community, they turn to a similar resource for many of their interests. CF folks won't be the only ones knowing what happens!

Oh man my head hurts and I only read about 1/10 of the posts. Sorry to see the problem you're having. So far I don't see anything major the supplier has done wrong, maybe a little misleading but that happens. Sounds like you were pretty happy with the product you received when it first fired up. Hopefully they will do a professional and accurate assessment of the motor when they receive it and take appropriate action. You're right, everyone can come out a winner on this, hopefully they will.

In 2004 Blueprint Engines was featured on TWO GUYS GARAGE, with Sam and Dave installing a Blueprint crate engine into their project car.
Most of our buyers are spending a lot of time on their car. Spend a little more time looking for an engine, and you'll see the Blueprint difference!

Napa engines
It appears they also supplly engines to NAPA?
If they supply engines to NAPA, I wonder what NAPA's incoming quality level is from Blueprint?
Not to get off subject, but check out the napa girl link.

As the crankshaft turns these are the days of our lives. They shouldn't hesitsate to replace that engine. from what i saw in the web page it was a long block engine with the intake mounted in other words a sealed engine.

I'm no where near smart enough to comment technically, hell I learned a lot just in the hour I went through it. It's a compelling read...
