Ever gotten money back from a machine shop?

LOL ! wagons circulars! I'm tired of hearing about excuses for poor craftsmanship this is b*******! Remember and post 42 where you said your piston guy would say four weeks which was a lie and you knew it and then you would make up the best lie you could to your customer who's paying you to tell him hopefully the truth and do an honest job? How does someone go about using a good conscience lying to somebody who's giving them them a good hard-earned money? I think there should be a new nature to this business or somewhere on your Pricelist you have the no excuse price. When I'm into it 5K I would just assume pay another grand to know that it's right and going to be done right the first time. What happened to getting what you paid for? It's all easy and everybody is doing it! I'm an extremely quick learner and there's absolutely no way whatsoever I could work in a machine shop for any amount of time. I would be banging myself on the head with a hammer with all that repetitive crapolla. I can't do repeat repeat repeat repeat jobs. I'll throw a valve spring across the room at somebody just to make something happen in the shop. I would think the final assembly man would be the top dog in the shop? He should be able to know what everybody's doing so it all comes together in one perfect peace? This person should be double-checking everything that goes out of that shop .

BTW, bearings and gaskets do not a rebuild make. Most guys think this **** is easy. And cheap. If it was, everybody would be doing it. Tooling is a bank breaker, especially after spending 50k on a machine. You'll have another 20k in tooling, minimum.

Getting a line hone correct is not as easy as it looks. Neither is getting a bore straight and round, with the correct surface. A simple valve job is much more complicated than it looks. You can make or break an combination with the wrong valve job.
