OK, so there’s a machine that came into our shop in Georgia and my guy Dave down there, looked it over and this guy brought this thing in stating that it was one of my engines and that the guy who installed it which I know who he is, but it’s not one of my engines told him that it was one of my engines, and that it would be covered under warranty. I spoke to the customer and then he pulled the dipstick and it was the blackest oil ever and then it looks like it’s been sitting forever. It’s got like green sludge on the engine so on and so forth and I told Dave I said you know what my engines are wiped the valve cover off look and see if you see my signature or the guy‘s name that I sell engine engines to or did sell engines too and by God there was nothing and then Dave looked over at some more and more and more he opened the air box up and the air filter was so black and dirty. Oh, and there was dog food in there what I’m trying to get at is that people can really really be shady I’m not shady. I’m a very honest person when it comes to everything that I do and this is why I mark every one of my engines, and I also engrave them on the inside because people try to pull this stuff good luck. and I explained to the customer that if it is one of my engines, I standby everything we do but we do not cover mud or water damage or installation problems so my guy Dave sent me a video of this thing oh before I go any further the guy says that it has seven hours on it. OK so my guy Dave takes a video and send it to me and then calls me on FaceTime and shows me that the intake manifold are cracked in half so with that said even if it was one of my engines which it’s not, I wouldn’t warranty something like that you don’t put broken manifold, especially intake manifold, and the air filter would’ve been brand new in it, and the oil wouldn’t what to be the color of the ace of spades, especially with seven hours on it. It’s amazing what people think they can get over on. It absolutely amazes me if the guy was just honest about everything. I would’ve probably helped them out a little bit, but is what it is.
