We had a few years bac a brand new 565 come apart. it was a $17,000 engine with a toal of 3 runs on it.
Found an arp l-19 rod bolt completely snapped in half.
It was a Lukovich motor and we sent it back in a crate.
they determined it was the rod bolt that gave out and after a bit of convincing we came to an agreement. They changed out the block which was windowed, new cam, and some other parts. We upgraded the rod package that came with it , and everybody was happy, Errr. kind of.
seem that thay do not want to deal with me anymore and I ended up kinda being the "Bad Customer" but they did what they said and took care of it. I still recomend their engines to everybody. I just wished I did not come out being the Bad Guy when all I wanted was what I paid for.
to this day, no problems what so ever and the engine makes 990 hp all day long.
