    In a dream world that would happen, unfortunatley we live in the real world. I'll answer this one at a time. The reason I had the motor pulles apart is because I thought that Lingenfelter was a top notch builder with an impeckable reputation. Then I start hearing from many sources that ever...

    Pics Of My Crashed Viper

    Glad you're ok Wanted. The silver lining is two-fold. First, you're ok. Second, with the prices that vipers are now going for, you would have never been able to sell it for what you're gonna get from the insurance company. Then you can purchase a new or used one at great price.

    HELP...terminated from my job, need to get out of lease

    How exactly did they "hose" him? Just because they sold the car to him at MSRP and he agreed, they "hosed" him huh? It's thinking like that and people that think like you that are allowing their houses to go to foreclosure because they made a bad choice. F-em, as you say, someone else will pay...

    Here's my thing, if I had not taken this motor apart that cam would have eaten into the block and possibly ruined it.

    Well from what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong, the viper cam spins in the block with no bearings.

    Thanks again HI-NOS-Viper for posting these pics. Well guys this is the camshaft that came in my $15k Lingenfelter engine. Can you believe that!!!! And Tim says that he can't believe that his engine builder of 20 years would assemble an engine with metal debris in it, he's too professional...

    Well guys, if I do not get this resolved next week I will be speaking to an attorney to find out what my options are. The camshaft in the motor is USED and the journals so badly scored that AR Fab says that it can't be used. Nothing in his ad, or the invoice I recieved from them said ANYTHING...

    First, the motor was never started or run. It was placed in the car and was awaiting the AEM for full installation. The main studs were removed to tear the motor the rest of the way down after the depris was found after removing the heads. The reason I had the engine taken apart in the first...

    Problem is that it wasn't just the small pieces in the pics. There was a fine metallic powder/dust in the cylinders and in the engine. Also, the camshaft has score marks on the journals indicating it was used!!!! The bottom line is I expect a professional, clean engine with no debris in it for...

    Here is the reply I received from Tim Dyer from Lingenfelter. Hi Joe, I looked at the pictures and passed them onto Graham in our engineering department. He had the same question I did, why after the engine had been installed in the vehicle would you have them remove it and pull the...

    Definatley not the case here. I was the one who suggested taking the engine apart. Howard at AR Fabrication didn't really want to do it but said it might be a good idea and would do it if I wanted him to. He was content on installing the engine as it was shipped because it had come from a...

    Unfortunatley that's not the case. When I called later he said he's found material in the block and stuff. Regardless, the motor is now completley apart and has to be cleaned properly, at my expense of course.

    Tell me about it. It sucks. I sent Lingenfelter the pics and he says "well we have one guy that builds our motors and that stuff wasn't in it when it shipped." Does he honestly think I would put metal shavings in a motor that I paid 5 figures for? Why would I do that? What would I gain from...

    *** It Is Tough Out There!***

    I work in a Honda/Yamaha/Kawasaki dealership in Maryland, and things are tough. I've worked here for almost 15 years and have never seen it this way. Now we can point the blame at this person or that and it doesn't change the fact that no president, politician or program is gonna get us out of...

    What's a ported intake worth?

    I'd like to get your opinions on what a ported intake for a SRT10 engine is worth? The porting was done by Lingenfelter. The intake came with the motor I purchased but I do not need it because I already had my original intake ported and powder coated black. Thanks

    A&C Performance - Screwed me - Watch out

    As some of you know, or don't know, I bought a supercharged 2006 SRT10 Coupe that had only 3k miles on it from an owner in FL. I paid Doug Levin to look the car over and he gave it the ok. Now mind you he couldn't tear the car down to the crank or anything. Now I drove to car for two months...

    What are SRT10 wheels worth?

    I'm thinking of up grading to HRE wheels and was wondering what a set of factory polished 5 star SRT10 wheels and run flat Michelins are worth? The tires and wheels only have 3400 miles on them and are mint. Thanks
