Extremely bad experience with Kath...

Wasn't Kyle and he has his own if he needs one. They didn't offer it as cash or general credit, they offered it likely because they knew I wouldn't take them up on it.

Yes the equipment is older, but if it ant broke.. don't fix it.

But if the equipment is old then you need to make sure its still accurate. its called Preventative Maintinance.

Yea they should keep them up to spec and have them calibrated if they were looking to give a quality service...

AND guess what...I took my Flywheel to Napa to have the step checked and they had mine at .603.....kinda off if you ask, huh? So I took it back to them and had them check the step and the dude (younger one, different person who did my flywheel) got a .607. That kinda confused me alittle. So the guy asked if I wanted it fixed to .610 and he did it right. He even showed me the step height on his depth tool. I'm guessing the older guy with the long beard was lazy and does the crappy job. Oh well..I hope everything goes well from here on.... :)

Did you get any money back for having to come back twice? I would have asked for a refund...

[1slowdsm]

No...I didnt ask. They fixed it and that was good enough for me.

How did he check it? Problem with checking it with a caliper is that it is easy to manipulate it to look correct and easier to be wrong. Dimensionally, a caliper is just the wrong tool to be using and honestly, they vary enough from caliper to caliper to not trust them. My caliper measures exact from the end if I am very careful with it, but one of my mechanics has a new one that reads about .008 different in the same situation, his is wrong and won't be used here, but it is a good example of how far they can be off even if you are holding them correctly. Never trust a caliper for any depth test that you want to be precision. My surface plate and height gauge should be here today, if you need one double checked ever, bring it by.

Mike what brand/model of caliper do you use?

For a dial caliper Brown & Sharpe is one of the best, digital I would go with Mitutoyo. There are others that are decent, but those are the best in their category.
