This is probably the best post in this thread. As I said earlier, we will probably never know the root cause of the issue and we as a forum will never really know the extent of the conversations and commitments between Eric and Chris.

Anyone who ventures into business will have some complaints. It wasn't that long ago that T&L engines was taking a real beating. 99% of the comments I read were negative on several forums I frequent, yet 99.9% of their engines were great. I know many people who bought one and were completely satisfied. It is tough on a business given human nature is to complain when something goes wrong, but to remain silent when it goes right.

None of this is meant to say that Chris doesn't have a problem with PE. In fact it may be unfortunate for Eric that this thread and the broken valve train thread are happening at the same time. Although I do believe that this thread got new attention after a link was posted in the broken valve train thread.

The only advise I have left is for Eric. How you handle this issue and the one in the other thread will, right or wrong, affect how the majority of people think and talk about your company. That does not mean giving in on every issue. What it means is taking responsibility where it is yours and following through on any commitments made. At this point I would also finish the conversations in this thread. If you walk away now, the only voices will be those of Chris and your supporters. The rest of us will be left with a big question mark. That's not a good thing.
