ROLL ON ROLL ON
Damn this just gets better...Only thing that would make this better is if I was in the engine building business...Always like to see the competition take a stumble and sales drop cause mine will go up...From all I have read this situtation is something that has happened to others but they just did not have the venue to really get it the attention it deserved...Well let me tell you, it has got it now...I bet that $2 million in inventory could stand to be reduced some now and put the funds back into operating capitol....I was one of the people insulted, even though I pay no attention to hog crap til I step in it, so I am getting my jollies now..."SO ROLL ON FASTBOWTIE ROLL ON"....

Scot Slotten of DynoFlo
Incase you forgot My Tel# is 727-560-8549 and George Douklias,s
# is 727-463-8453 I suggest you call him first since it is his engine
All I need from you is an Apoligy
Because I dont let my wife talk to me the way you talked to me Why should I allow you to do it .
Apoligizing to the good people on this Website for what you have said about them is entirely up to you.
But I do reccomend it due to the thing you have said about everyone.

Donn, thanks for recommending to dyno that they appologize, not only to you but to us. If they are the "profesionals", I'm glad I'm a shade tree mechanic!!! 
The last motor I built in `86 is still running fine (a little tired, but still running!) Good talking to you the other day, Donn.

Well guys I haven't posted the breakdown sheet and it looks like I won't be able to. The reason being is that Southern Style Racing Engines will not provide me with one due to possiblity of litigation due to the condeming nature of the findings.
I do see his point however it is A letdown for me. But here are some things that were found:
1 The Crankshaft was too light on the front throw Mallory was add to it to correctly ballence it .
2 All 8 connecting rods were not torqued only hand tight .
3 The Camshaft lockplate & thrust button were not installed correctly
4 Some if not most of the ring gaps were in excess of 0.020 thousandths.
5 Piston to pin clearances were only half a thousandths.
6 Rod to pin clearances were also half a thousandths .
They appear to have been removed from the boxes and assembled but never checked or properly Clearanced .
Yes this was A fairly inexpensive Shortblock when purchased 5 grand but there is No excuse for the shoddy workmanship even if it was a mass produced with the exception of the Pistons & camshaft that I requested it should have been built with a little more care .
As I said before in order to keep the cost down DynoFlo has to cut corners somewhere. Well we found out where the hardway.
ANYWAY It Still doesnt give Scot Slotten the rite to cut down people on this site or Me for that matter .

So,
Let me get this straight.....
A real engine builder...(take note Scot)...pulls the motor completely apart, and discovers all of the above mentioned items either done wrong or not done at all.
And yet Scot seems to want to blame you and everyone else under the sun.
In fact he has stated that it is your responsibility to make sure his work is done right, so you buy a inexpensive assembled shortblock, get it and tear it all down to ensure everything was done right and now your relatively cheap engine has just jumped up in cost, and if you have to re do any of Scot's work, another jump in cost, so where is the deal?
Buy from Scot and end up re-doing his sloppy work, or spend a few bucks more and get a quality engine done right...I will go with the latter.
And to think, all Scot had to do was be a man and step up for a mistake he made and all this would have gone away....hell an apology for acting like an ass and it all would have gone away, but unfortunately he has short man's disease and needs to be an asshole to make up for his lack of height and the fact he can't see over the steering wheel of his car without a pillow to sit on.
