Its bs he doesnt warranty his work, but if its gonna run right then thats not too bad. I mean I just got 4.10s put in me and my mechanic friend did it its messed up so hes bringing it in again for free since it wasn't done right you would think he would do the same. sorry you got screwed but enjoy it being done right

The thing is he didn't find anything wrong with it but he says if he did then it would have been free. But for all I know he fixed whatever it was and is charging me for it and then sayin there wasn't anything wrong with it ya know. I doubt thats the case but its always a possibility. I'm putting different heads on it so if its still making the noise its gotta be in the trans/clutch. I am just pissed that he offered to look at it and implied it would be done as a favor and then threw a bill at me. Oh well thanks for the input guys.

Is this machinist a reputable guy ? like his work , word and quality ? If not I would have not taken it to him. I mean $260 for a tear down and piece together is not bad but its kind of a Yin and Yang situation.

It always sucks paying for something when you still have no definitive answer to solve your problem. But I think as far as this situation goes, paying half is a good deal.

ehhh i don't feel good either way on that one.

DEFINATELY your at fault for not asking if this was going to cost you. however, if the motor is making noise there's something possibly wrong with the motor and if there was any sort of warranty on your re-assembly they need to investigate it. he's shady for charging, your wrong for assuming that something was going to be for free (nothing ever is). you could possibly bring up the warranty if your motor came with one.

if nothing else, this was a life lesson you learned.

Who did you take it to?...if the problem continues I have a place that I can recommend...that sounds like what machine shops typically do...just my exp from working at one...but your right it SHOULD have been on them...none the less tell me where u got the wrk done, pm if u want...

Hope ya get it resloved
You been through alot of crap with this motor

The guy i went through is more of a middle man who has all of his shortblocks built through this guy. I don't know who does the work but I am gonna find out. I only assumed it would be free because he offered and said he'd be more than happy to look at it but whatever.

take him to civil court all your goin to do is go back and forth same **** happened to me guy built my rear end and messed it up and told me it was my fault and then when i brought it in went ahead and torched my rear axle out and put a junk yard one in and charged me 300$ you won't win just going back and forth. tell him if u cant get it resolved ul take it to civil court

That sucks man I've had that happen when people imply that they'll do it as a favor but end up charging you. Sounds like a mis-communication, maybe you could bring it up to your buddy and say you didn't know it was gonna cost you anything. Hopefully your buddy isn't trying to rip you off or anything. Either way I'm sure things will work out, sorry your having a rough one man.
