Machine shops and warrenty work....
Some of you guys MAY remember this 22' Chapparal boat with the 350 chebby engine and Mercruiser ODrive...and my friends out on the Atlantic outside Mayport here at Jax Florida...and they hade a cat *** trophy out there and so engine blew 6 ways from sunday and no one could prove a thing....
well the Machine shop.....in good faith under questionable circumstances....
they ATE THE ENTIRE ENGINE from castings OUT....got a brand new fresh rebuilt engine back yesterday, spend the afternoon putting it together....tmrw is drop day....
Precision Machine on Bowdendale in Jacksonville Florida is a really stand up outfit....especially when NO ONE could determine what in hell happened out there on the water.......
it's all theory and discussions....
knowing Florida business climate they could have VERY easily walked and said FU, but they did not...
gotta say the owner is a stand up guy....very cool.....ANY of you guys needing a reliable machine shop that does it good, give them a call....904 731-0033
they built the short block in my vette some 11 years ago, and it's fine for 150k miles+ and a few blasts....
methinks they care more about repeat customers than just ONE engine....
DAMN RARE these daze...DAMN RARE....

It is nice to see people backing up their work as opposed to the typical
"If it is high performance, you are on your own", which coincidentaly gave a lot of business to crate motor companies that do offer warranties.
If I was in FL, they would get my business!!!

but THIS one....absolutely NO ONE, not the machine shop, not us, not no one can figger out WHY....not that I give a damn, just like to KNOW....damnit....
Kinda like watching a digger engine go all a blow, and wonder what happened....and we never really EVER know....
and there is NO comparo to our silly gas engine to something like Scott Kalitta's disaster, but on our level, it hurts too.....
