Rabbit,
Here is my $.02 reply, what goes around comes around. When you sit back & gloat at someone else's misfortune, It Will Come Back To Haunt You!!
It used to be when we bought race parts they were ready to use, out of the box. Somehow that evolved into, you should be happy we build the race parts for you, we build hundreds of thousands parts there is no way we can check each one individually. If you want perfection you need to take the parts to a machine shop and have perfection made. Now, as per Rabbit says, racing parts have no guarantee. If you take them to a machine shop/engine builder even with their guarantee when you pay them their asking price and leave their shop, if it is not Right or what you paid for, you can expect to pay another machine shop/engine builder to make it Right or what you paid for in the beginning.
I don't know about the rest of you but that is unacceptable to me. By it being a racing part/race engine, I do not expect a 100,000 mile warranty, BUT I DO EXPECT IT TO BE WHAT IT WAS ADVERTISED AND WHAT I PAID FOR AND MOST IMPORTANTLY RIGHT!
As individual racers, we have very little power, but as United Racers we have Great Power. As racers ourselves, we need to look out for our fellow racers. We should all be thankful to Racing Junk for providing us with this site, but it is a very large site and impossible for them to police everything on their own. When we see a illegitimate machine shop/engine builder advertising and selling their products on here taking advantage of our fellow racers, shouldn't each & everyone of us report them to Racing Junk and ask that their advertisement/ads be removed from the site, or should we just sit back like Rabbit and gloat at everyone's misfortune?
