Guess it boils down to...................
How much do you want to stand behind your product with what you claim it is?
and
Certain Blocks produced out there have issues that won't pass for what the block was cast aftermarket for.
A improved version of the factory block with modifactions and upgrades to be used for Performance.
I have seen the old post on PY from Steve Kauffman what this block claims to present. It fell short?
Quote:
From K&M (Kauffman & Mellott) performance spec on MR-1 Blocks;
Block tensile strength is 35,000 psi twice that of any other block. The deck thickness is around 5/8 of and inch thick. The deck height 10.240 ,block is 22.160" long, cylinder bores are 4.145" from the cnc it will accept a 4.400 bore with a 4.375 bore this block has .250 of wall thickness. Defection of the cylinder bores should be outstanding with the wall thickness and tensile strength. This was an absolute when we decide to crank up the wick on the Pro-Mods. Ever aspect of the machining is measured in house which guarantees the lifters, distributer,oil pump will fit with no mods. Deck height measures within .002 or less which should pose no problems. The mains and cam tunnels are within .0002 and are precisely set on 5.192" this CNC Machine just loves to make precise parts. Main caps are from Pro-Gram engineering they are four bolt dowel pined caps.KRE and K&M are bringing Pontiac Performance Parts to all of the people that enjoy driving or racing a Pontiac. We are trying to set standards that the consumers wise to have at all levels. And we have tried our best to keep prices affordable for everyone to be able to enjoy some type of performance, as most of you know try calling and talk to my son Jeff he doesn't have time to turn around some days! Our web site should be up it is MR-1.COM we will be putting more info up soon. Any questions can be directed to KRE or Tin Indian and as Kev stated we are shipping blocks every week.
Thank You
Steve Kauffman

Nothing is going to be done to rectify a situation brought to their attention?
Sold
As is?????
I do feel bad for anyone caught in the middle as a sales rep for anything sold that has issues. :(
Like was stated throughout this post. This isn't an isolated block deal.
