Subject: Re: Engine swap on the C1 by jsup on 2008/11/24 23:31:49 That's a fair response. I wonder if shift is typical and if there is an industry accepted tolerance for it, and what that is. see, I think I am taking a position that the CNC simply exposed the problem, but the problem was a manufacturer defect and should be replaced. Was the tech running the machine slopply, sure, but was that the problem? Is your position that if the machine was stopped 10 minutes earlier things would be different? Yes, he'd have an undamaged useless head, now what? I don't see how that makes a difference, when does a defect become a defect? (sounds like abortion huh) A factory defect becomes a factory defect when it leaves the factory, at conception. The mechanism by which it is discovered is irrelevant. But that goes back to my last question...is this a recall type issue? and Is there an industry accepted amount of shift, if so, what is it, and are these out of industry accepted spec? If so, lltrevino has a valid point, if not, then it changes. Try this.....you buy a tire, it vibrates all the time, you hit a curb. You find out that the tire's belts were shifted from the factory causing not only the vibration, but the accident as well. Does the tire manufacturer owe you new tires or does the manufacturer tell you to buy more of his twice the price tires since they don't have the belt shifting problem? note, he never denied there was a belt shifting problem. |
