"It's old news, but those of us who know about that deal will never forget it..."

And with some of us in court when they said they wouldn't do anything about defective blocks !

Block hardness certified soft as a cast iron pan, wall thickness below stated standard and rear main cap machined incorrectly. Some with cam bearing bore size issues, and lifter angle/placement.

No paperwork received with block, no mention of warranty or return policy included at the time of purchase, nor disclosed prior to delivery of block.
