if you spend 5k on an engine and it defective when you pay a professional to install it and you have to remove it and send it back to get a good motor They should pick up the tab, what do companies not stand behind there products anymore..
its a dam shame
Kryo-Genik said:If it's going the way mark is saying, the motor was damaged from being overheated. Which would mean it wasn't LFP's problem it was the installer. Now if this is indeed 100% true why should LFP be held accountable for something they did not do?
You can stand behind a product all you want..but if the end user does something to damage the item ( like using a knife as a screw driver and breaking the blade) then its not your fault.

ducman996 said:Just my observations, the knock in the motor at start up sounds very consistant with an out of round cylinder and then resulting in dammage. Overheating? What do you have to do to overheat a motor that bad? Not put any coolant in the engine at all? Especially one that you are trying to "baby" around and observe guages for anything abnormal untill it is broke in. Wouldn't you just about have to ingore the temp guage and SES light, have hoses blowing off the engine, and a mile high steam cloud to result in an block overheated enough to warp a cylinder out of round? I just dont find it likely that a shop would accidently overheat a motor that bad. It just doesn't sound nearly as plausable to me. I want to see these pictures, maybe there was still flames comming out of the cylinder when it was delivered back to LFP.
If I were you, I would have appreciated the new motor and went on my way.

Mark@LFP said:Contrary to your statement it is very easy to improperly fill the coolant fluid, get an air pocket, and cause severe overheating. The builder admitted nothing. Builder WITHOUT seeing motor took customers word that it was builder fault. Sent a motor sight unseen. That is customer service.
Replacing a short block in good faith does not constitute fault. It simply means he kept his word believing the it could have been his fault.
Mark has been out. Pics. will be posted.
Engine got so hot the Poly-Dyne heat treat coating bubbled off and melted the head gaskets to the head surface.
