| Re: Small Block Chevy's don't bounce !!! If I was you I would reject the engine and get a new one from the insurance company. I would be willing to bet that there has been some unseen shock damage on the internal components and once you accept the engine you will have no chance of getting more compensation should other problems associated with the accident make themselves known. Is it worth the risk ? Cheers, Tony

| Re: Small Block Chevy's don't bounce !!! I agree with Tony, once you start looking the damage could soon mount up, what about the other end of the dizzy, inside the engine has that received any damage? has the cab been disturbed ,bending the fixing bolts/linkages? have any of the gaskets been jarred breaking their seals? etc etc. I know its a big pain in the backside and you have waited so long for the engine, but let them have it back, its the safest thing to do, Failing that get the insurance to pay for someone like BAE to rebuild it for you. Bad luck mate, keep smiling |

| Re: Small Block Chevy's don't bounce !!! The walk wasn't that long. I think I'll get it out of customs and get a chevy builder to take a look at it. Don't want to take risks. Thanks for your comments Rich/Tony. Needless to say I'm pretty p*ssed off. Who's the best company in the UK to do this sort of thing? Company's I know of that build engines are BAE, Repower, Realsteel, EDA. Would they take this sort of thing on?

Take another walk, longer this time and have a good think. If anyone opens that engine up to check it, firstly your guarantee will be voided and secondly you may have a job to prove that any damage done was actually caused by the fall. You'll be giving the insurance company a way out. Who is going to pay the bill to have the engine stripped, checked, and rebuilt. ? It may be best to write this one off and claim from the insurance. Regards Jim

| Re: Small Block Chevy's don't bounce !!! Kev Agreed, you have no knowledge of the height that the engine dropped from, ir if it bounced etc. I would refuse the engine if I were you, and claim the full cost from the insurance company. These are precision engineering builds, if it is out and you start it up, there is the potential for a whole heap of trouble. If you take it to EDA, then as Jim points out, then your warranty with the original builder is void. I would err on the side of caution with this one.

| Re: Small Block Chevy's don't bounce !!! Kev, Is it one of our engines? If so, don't sign anything to accept delivery. We will ship you a replacement and we will sort out the return of the engine and the insurance. Any damage may appear superficial, but a crack in the block may have occurred.
