My question is....was the part defective when it left the warehouse? That really in my mind is the only question.
There does not seem to be an argument that there were other parts that were defective when they left the warehouse.... is this one of those?
I think, that if the poster purchased the cylinder head as new from the manufacturer and it was certifiably identified with a problem such as core shift, that it should be replaced under warranty at no-cost.... that would be my opinion on that....
OK, we agree again, hey, look at that.
I would suspect that the date codes manufacturer's typically cast into the castings would identify if the said set were part of that run of known bad units. Should be easy enough to figure out. There is no denial of the problem, in fact quite the opposite, I read the above posted as an admission with a remedy to go buy their new stuff to fix it.
What I don't know is if the manufacturer ever replaced ANY of the units with this problem, maybe they did, maybe they didn't, but clearly they should have. If they never replaced any, then they have a point of saying "that's our policy". Shitty policy, but maybe it flies. If they replaced one, then I think they should replace them all. Would you want a product that "may or may not" be defective"?
