318/390 stroker kit oil leaks NEED HELP!

Kevko sold me two pans that wre deformed at the rear seal and neither fit correctly. After calling them and sending them pictures of the bend they blamed it on the shipper. The boxes had no damage and both pans were bent the same way on the same corner at the rear.

This will be my last Kevko pan due to th cocky *** hole I talked to on the phone that insisted it was the shipper.

The quality was not good and having two pans at the same time to compare was even more concerning . Neither was constructed the same comparing one to the other.

We have a machine shop and won't buy their product again. Milodon has weld problems but at least they fit. We can weld them and repaint them easy . But having to make them fit is time consuming. We cannot send a motor out with a product we don't back.

If they would have told us they were concerned and would look into it we would feel different.

But their first reaction was to pass the buck onto the shipper. What are the chances that two pans in undamaged boxes were damage the exact same way. In my opinion they are using rejected cores they bought cheap and never did a quality check before shipping. Even the sides of the pans were deformed and don't fit over the 4 bolt main caps. .

I was thinking this may be an issue as well since the rear main this second time looks dry but the pan gasket is wet. It still seems odd that once a leak is fixed it pushes another one. Seems like it must be building pressure
