[damage]

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help and well wishes.

It wasn't my intention to name and shame a vendor, as some have read my thread would be aware I have already had a long running dispute with another vendor on this very same vehicle for a completely unrelated issue. The one thing that I learnt from that is that naming and shaming holds no value and normally as was my case the namer normally gets their head beaten in with a stick and accused of being a liar etc.

Most of you have already worked out where the engine came from and I am now faced with the conclusion from the vendor that because it's a race motor they offer no warranty other then for their workmanship which in my opinion is the route of the cause but that's up to me to prove and that would just involve me spending more time that couldn't be recouped.

I have today sent another email to the company politely expressing my views that they have given me the run around after a complete and total line of bull was given to me on the phone yesterday.

Disappointing to spend $60,000 on an engine and have it crap itself after only 40 miles but that's my problem now, I guess it could be much worse the engine could have punched a hole in itself and be nothing more then scrap metal luckily the parts to fix it are relatively cheap.

AND FOR THE RECORD.
David Kirkham has been a pleasure to deal with and has gone above and beyond his duty as a vendor to help out with all and anything that I had questions on or required help with. If I ever ever had to buy a Cobra there would be no other company that I would call on bar the Kirkhams.
