[Mr. Evo IX]

I dont know, a little more reading tells the rest of the story. Keep in mind that most of the time in the performance automotive world you pay to play, and there are no warranties if the engine blows up at the track - That's tough. Yet Cartek replaced his engine anyhow. I wouldnt be so quick to lay blame on them.

As far as the second set of pistons only being 4.125 instead of 4.130, (428cid vs 429cid) why would you bore a new block in the first place. Especially on a engine that your doing warranty replacement on that you didnt have to. Same thing goes for the lifters.

Z06 Owner says

"After 1 month and 1 track day I had no oil pressure, they warrantied the engine and gave me the car 2 months later..(theres a whole thread on that problem I had) Originally they claimed it had 575rwhp, and I had it dynoed at another shop and it was off by 50hp."

Cartek response as quoted by owner.

"we warrantied the motor when we didn't have to because we are a new company now.. We did you a favor. We rebuilt your motor with comprable parts"
