Corvetteforum isn't a court of law and I have advised the owner of the car in the dispute to let the courts decide the case and then post the results. That individual would not cooperate with the request and his posting privileges have been removed.

Posting the video on his behalf is an inappropriate end run.

The truth of the matter will be determined in court. Meanwhile, please stop posting one side of the story.

IB4TL but I don't really get it. There doesn't seem to be a big conspiracy. The bores are 5 thousanths small, ok. The heads are bigger than he expected, ok. Lifters are a different brand, OK. None of these caused the engine to fail. He keeps saying that a bent crank caused the failure but there is no real proof of that. Why they didn't warranty it is the real question but did he even take it to them when it failed?

PS: I have never done business with Vette Doctors or Cartek and have loyalty to neither.

They did warranty the motor..He blew up one from Lingenfelter, and then he blew up one from Cartek and then he had his motor go again after the warranty repair because he went to a different shop and changed out his cam and his tune!!

The guy who started this thread is a paying sponser on another forum and he can`t seem to keep his noise out of other peoples affairs...Maybe his business is slow, who knows?....No Class...
