Sorry almighty spelling police it was 1:30am when I wrote that
. Anyway, I am pretty sure he told Jet to bring it up there and they would look at it. But then stuff took a turn for the worse, just like AJ described that this thread is not going to turn into. I was there when he talked to Rick on the phone and Rick said that the tranny shouldn't have anything to do with the crankwalk. And then within a couple of days he posted on MNDSM that it was the tranny and the "monster clutch" that caused it. And then all hell broke loose and things got out of control. And with that, all civil communication between them was lost and nothing was going to be done about it.
I can vouge for JETS feeling on the whole subject. My consensus is that he has taken in the fact that he is just going to have to eat this one no matter whos fault it was. Like he said, theres a $3,500 lesson that was learned from this. Just do things yourself and then if something doesn't work out according to planned you don't have anybody to blame but yourself.
But all that is a mute point anyway, like AJ said this should be a educational post so that this doesn't happen to anyone in the future no matter who is doing the rebuild. Thats why I posted the thread to NABR, if you don't trust the information that is on there, who do you trust?
And Chris you are probably right. I am 100% sure that there are far more happy people with Ricks work than that are unhappy. But the only way to be the best at what you do is to admit when you have overlooked something and then learn from it. And if something is being overlooked when rebuilding with ARP's, well then it should be addressed and the proper precautions should be taken so that problems don't occur in the future. Right?
