Why didnt anyone check pushrod length when putting the 2nd motor together? After the cam/lifters were fucked up on the first go round....

thats pretty much all I want to know..>Does the shop own a pushrod checker?
Comp R lifters fail most because of improper installation.

Well, yeah, whether he told them it had milled heads or not doesnt really matter, they guy putting a motor together with ported heads(that could be milled) should have checked...
Should have checked pushrod length after the first set of lifters and cam got trashed....

Yes sir, but getting them to admit that is different...
Stealing or not Fred, I dont think id be paying that either for someones costly mistakes...I dont know the whole situation but all i want to know is if a pushrod checker was EVER used on that assembly...
When you install a cam and degree it, you would have noticed this issue far before you even dropped it in the car. Its rookie mistakes from what I gather. We'll kick back and let the story unfold though. Keep the nutswingers out of it.

If it was indeed an installation error which i believe it was from what is stated from both sides, its really a matter of who's stealing from whom now.

He cant really run to far from that bill though, they still have his car...
But I cant say id want to be paying a bill for something that should have been checked.
But then again, I would have paid the bill, got my car back and sued after I had my shit back.

You know, I'm sure both parties involved (Customer and HPP) have some sort of blame and fault as to this whole ordeal. But being in the the retail business, I know that no matter what the customer is always right. Now I'm not saying that he shouldn't pay the bill either, however I think HPP should have tried to resolve this matter in a better way. Remember for every 1 customer that is unsatisfied, he/she tells 19 other people. (Math class : argueing over $4500 = losing $85,500 in potential business) Had this been me trying to resolve this, I would make the customer pay for ALL parts and outsourced labor only. I would eat the in house labor charges just to make this right, regardless of the circumstances. But hey this is just my opinion! I been in the retail business for over 20 years.
Wasn't there some chick that got ass raped by them too ?.........not starting shit. I just remember hearing something about it.

The only problem with paying for ALL the parts, more and more parts were replaced as the real problem was never fixed, due to an installers error. Should only be charged for the shortblock and one set of lifters/cam. I dont see why he would need to pay for the other sets that were trashed from not catching the pushrods were too long....

I gotta agree...at this point its obvious mistakes have been made on both sides and it would be better to take a small loss and try to make the whole thing go away before it gets any bigger
Tssk Tssk... That why my car will never see a shop unless I completely know them
I do not know much people from HPP but I do know how mechanics are
1. My life sucks I want to shoot my self
2. I cant believe they denied my raise or they are paying him more and not me
3. Did i check that??? I am sure i did
4. No need to check this and that... what's a couple of 0.001's going to do
5. Hey I never learned this but theres no time or I dont want to look stupid and ask
Basically your are depending on some bad ass mechanic or some moron to work on your car
*Plus Anytime that a stock rebuild cost more then a Standard long block and installation there should be a red flag going off
Either way sounds like deep Poo Poo :D

What you have to look at is this is just an example of how one could solve this or come to a mutual agreement. When I suggested for paying for ALL of the parts and outsourced labor, I took into consideration that I'm sure there was some in-house labor the customer is responsible for paying for and I'm sure there are some parts that HPP are responsible for paying for. So to make it easier, just cut out all of the in-house labor charges (HPP measure of good faith) and customer pays for ALL parts (customers measure of good faith). Remember both parties share responsibility for this WHOLE ordeal. Then part company on mutual terms.

Yeah, I understand, I was just saying if I were the customer I wouldnt want to be paying for the shop's messup, assuming the pushrod length was never checked.
Either way this will more than likely end up in court, as I doubt either one will want to eat any of it, especially if its not their fault...
It would be in their interest to save face, but again theres alot of parts/labor in this whole deal
But again, im just going on whats been posted so far, and well see what HPP has to say about the deal, and whether the pushrods were checked, etc....

Now they are getting into he said/she said territory and nobody really wins there. That's why I made the suggestions that I did, so both parties can just move on. It's not even about weather or not they did or did not check the push rod length anymore. It's about paying to get his car back. Unfortunately, the customer does not dispute that HPP performed work on his car, therefore he is required to pay for services rendered. Plain and simple. And everyday that goes by that he does not pay the bill, HPP is entitled to charge a reasonable storage fee that can eventually lead to HPP filing for a mechanics lien. Then the customer would be SOL. Maybe not the right thing to do, but it's the truth. The laws are in place to protect both the consumer and the business.

All I asked was if they checked it, after the first cam/lifters were trashed, or even when the built the 2nd engine....
No one is bashing yet, just asking if it was checked, and no replies from the people that actually did the work.
But thats right, because its not my car, and I wasnt there(neither were you), we cant ask questions about what actually happened. :rolleyes:
If HPP did everything right, theres nothing to worry about. If the other guy is being a douche, its his fault too.

lol.. this the after it broke the first when he already paid $4500
We then told you again not to use the heads because we don't know anything about them and they may be causing the problem in some way. You brought your stock heads but were still complaining every day about not having your ported heads. So we then agreed to have the machine shop check out the heads and if they say they are ok, we will still use them. Turns out he said they needed some cleaning up but they should be good to go. We put it back together and the same thing again. We all felt like all the precautions had been taken. A whole bunch of parts were now ruined again, another cam had been flattened and there was metal everywhere. I felt bad gave you the needed parts at cost and split the labor with you. Then your total bill was $2,800 I believe, I think there was extra stuff in there too. This bill was paid.
We then had to have new bearings again, and have the machine shop check it all out to see if they could tell what is happening. """He says no problem found besides all the debree in the engine"""""""", blames it on that. Rebuilds it and passes over another bill. You were then charged for nothing but cost on a few parts and it was put together with the stock heads like we wanted to do from the begining. You were charged $1,400 I think, for what I had to pay to the machine shop and some new parts. This bill was paid.
Lucky for us your car broke again

some customers take things too far. if person #1 says so-n-so did a horrible job on my car and now it wont run... then person #2 comes in and say well they've done this and that to my car and i've never had a problem, thats one thing. but its another completely if #2 says, well because they've done this and that with my car they can never do wrong. thats nutriding. the only people who know the truth are the two parties invloved. the rest of us are spectators. i have know idea which of the 2 are right or wrong, i'm just glad it isnt me in the situation.

We didn't do the original work that destroyed everything. He would sure come out smelling like a rose if he screwed it all up then puts in all on the shop if all is not perfect using his choice in parts. There was many times that things were recomended and he chose to do whatever he wanted.
There is no way this should be all on us! I have offered to eat thousands of dollars but they just want to pay 1.5k of the 7k they owed. To me that is just being unreasonable and not taking any of the blame at all.

People need to do their homework before making quick decisions : HPP banner says "Your Local Late Model Mustang Specialists" not "Your Local LSx Specialists". I own neither a Mod Motor or LSx Motor, but from what I've read, seen and heard, I would take a Mod Motor to HPP and take a LSx to SQR or take either/both to SpeedTek. That's me doing my homework. This is why I prefer to do my own work. (Let me rephrase that, That is why I let JUSTTHEDRIVER do my work.) Because I know him and trust him. If he's not sure how to do something he'll tell me, but he's willing to try and if he makes a mistake he takes RESPONSIBILTY for his mistakes. Just my $ .02.

You shouldnt be responsible for the first set of problems as he had the work done somewhere else. That would be crazy to take the blame for.
Its good you are taking the step to make things right, and seems more than fair, and its good to get the other side of the story.
What happened with the stock heads? Did he just want them throw on as a quick fix? or what?
See Bill, was that so hard to wait for? :rolleyes:

After reading the whole thread it sounds like a complete cluster F!!k. Both sides have good points in the matter.
I can see HPP's side on the first time around, and even the second time with the replacement of the short block, the customer owes for that. After that the shop has to take responsibility for the work. If your assembling a motor you check everthing not just bolt it together. Anyone that has worked on the LSx motor knows the valve train is very tight on those motors. Any changes should always be followed by a check of the complete system. I'm sure HPP is getting an expensive lesson here. That is why there machine shop warned them about such deals.
Sounds like something that is not just going away.

I have already offered to pay for numerous parts and all of the labor except for the very first one. There is no way this could be blamed totally on us. When this was brought in it was a total disaster, nobody had ever seen anything like this. I have tried to work with him and his dad but I feel like they are not being reasonable. We didn't do the original work that destroyed everything. He would sure come out smelling like a rose if he screwed it all up then puts in all on the shop if all is not perfect using his choice in parts. There was many times that things were recomended and he chose to do whatever he wanted.
There is no way this should be all on us! I have offered to eat thousands of dollars but they just want to pay 1.5k of the 7k they owed. To me that is just being unreasonable and not taking any of the blame at all.My only problem with that is that you are the shop, the ones that are supposed to be able to fix personal installers fuck ups..Thats why he brought it to you for (proper) diagnosis and it turned out incorrect from what I can tell. Accept the blame that yes you guys could have looked over something and eat it...Come up with a true cost of parts and submit that bill and a portion of labor. Cut the losses and move on.
Just an outsiders opinion here.

One last thing...its best to get a mediator involved with everyone at the table in a civil matter. You dont want this to go to court. I work at a courthouse for civil matters and rear shops cases all the time. the judge has awarded to the consumer is almost 90% of the cases on his docket. Way cheaper to settle outside. it will cost you even more in the long run.

Prove what?
That the stock length pushrods were either
A) Used knowing they were too long for milled heads, and he did in fact check
Or
B) He didnt check, and again, the stock pushrod length was too long for milled heads
Which led to the lifters and cam getting trashed.

No where did i say James didnt check...I have a feeling he didnt. Thats what I said. Post up a checker from the shop and it will partially be dropped. Whether or not he used it...thats pretty apparent dip shit. The lifters wouldnt be crammed into the cam...DUH!

Well as a satisfied customer of HPP I must say they have never done me wrong in the past. It looks like a little complacency/careless came about during the re-assembly of this motor. Now then I can see how this would happen. My last motor I built I didn't check the pushrod length but that was because the motor has been run successfully with this setup. Now then, in a situation where you know the cam has been chewed up and shits all fucked up you should at least check all your bases upon re-assembly. It just sounds like some shortcuts were taken in this matter. That doesn't make James a bad mechanic at all so noone needs to take it that way. I just think he might of got a bit complacent thats all. I will still do business with HPP no matter how this turns out.

what I want to know is why you were flipping switches while the nitrous was hung open??? Fuck turn the car off, pull the packs off, bump the motor. Walla you'd still have an intake, hood, fender. Well the more I think about it, I guess it was sudden and you had very little time to react so I don't blame you.
Tssk Tssk... That why my car will never see a shop unless I completely know them
I do not know much people from HPP but I do know how mechanics are
1. My life sucks I want to shoot my self
2. I cant believe they denied my raise or they are paying him more and not me
3. Did i check that??? I am sure i did
4. No need to check this and that... what's a couple of 0.001's going to do
5. Hey I never learned this but theres no time or I dont want to look stupid and ask
Basically your are depending on some bad ass mechanic or some moron to work on your car
*Plus Anytime that a stock rebuild cost more then a Standard long block and installation there should be a red flag going off
Either way sounds like deep Poo Poo :D

Asssuming that the fault lies with the mechanic, the mechanic should not have to pay for it, HPP should. He is their representative. If the shop has to pay for the mechanic's mistakes they will be sure to get people that do quality work.

From someone who doesn't know dick about engines or motors I have to say that this does raise some eyebrows but I see the entire story for what it is.
1. Dude tried a rebuild on his own and fucked up.
2. Dude takes fucked up engine to HPP to get it done right.
3. HPP takes pity on him and takes on a job that they normally wouldn't.
4. Dude wants to be cheap and HPP again caves when they shouldn't have.
5. Whether or not Dude told them the heads had been worked or not they rods/clearances should have been checked. While I may not know dick about building a motor I do know the old addage measure twice, cut once. Is there a good reason not to check the clearances on a motor your building?
6. Dude pays, motor tanks, dude cancels check. Takes it back to HPP.
7. HPP tries again, repeat steps 3-5.
8. Dude is pissed, HPP is embarassed and pissed neither wants to admit their complete level of fault. Pissing contest ensues.
The honest answer is that someone is going to get screwed out of this deal no matter what. I personally think it would show great for HPP to make sure he a good running shortblock charge him for whatever it would have cost had it been fixed correctly the first time and to walk away. I know thats a lot of money out of Manny pocket and I would be pissed too but as a potential customer looking for a shop for my car I don't look at how often they fuck up, I look at how they handle it when they do fuck up.
As for the nut huggers, HPP has plenty, they earned them by giving those customers exactly what they wanted time and again. I think we are all smart enough to figure out who has blind brand/shop loyalty and who just wants to bash. I personally don't hold either of those sentiments.

Wow had you killed the ignition when the noid originally stuck it would of still filled the cylinder but there would of been no flame for the nitrous to be oxidized by.

Yeah people screw up when trying to do things theirselves all the time. Thats when you say. I am in over my head & let a professinal fix it instead of making the problem worse.But if the shop can't fix it right it's the customers fault for fucking it up in the first place. Once it enters into a shops doors to be repaired then it becomes 100% that shops responsibility. Especially on motor jobs. If the shop can't fix it right then it shouldn't have written up a ticket or accepted the job. But because it did it's all on their back.

There are no nitrous for Dummies books out there Chris.
He's old and set in his ways. Problem, he has yet to learn that even if its stuck, killing power to the system will never unclog a solenoid!

What usmc posted is the way I see it. HPP went out of their way to work with used parts with unknown issues at the customer's insistence, didn't catch all of the issues, and got burned. No disrespect to HPP but since the customer had a basket case with deep issues and a tight wallet the car probably should have been taken to a shop that does primarily LSx work.
Now there has been a lot of money spent and what is left is who will pay for what.

I don't know but wrong thread and I think Bill gets it that he didn't take the right steps (he won't admit it, he's just that way). Let the man lick his wounds and fix his car. :DI am speaking from experience. I had a nitrous noid hang on me twice in two seperate occasions. I killed the car (reverse manual T400) coasted to the side. Opened the hatch, (this is also now why i mount bottles within drivers reach to be shut off in case of emergency) and cut the bottle off. This was a dry kit BTW...same concept though.
Pulled the wires off the plugs and spun the motor over for about 30 seconds and with the car at WOT on the peddle to kill any extra fuel going in to the cylinders...dont do this on a carb setup.
Fired the motor up and bam..ran like a top. 2nd occasion was easier to deal with. The bottle was behind the pass seat..shut it off and keep driving...no issues there either.

BULL FUCKING SHIT!!!!!
Going by YOUR stupid logic, why did it blow as soon as I killed the ignition? :confused:You had already waited to long to kill it. You were fucking with the ignition, patting the throttle when the first step was to take and kill the ignition..
I would almost bet a paycheck you have a plug that lost a tip and the flame traveled back through a bent intake valve that lit the uningested nitrous and fuel that you kept spraying into the intake... :cool:

Since I am a nitrous NEWB and should be a the Spring Cruise in full force I will be commiting that to memory. I probably would have done what Bill did to be honest :o, but your not going to get him to admit he was wrong. He's not that kind of guy. Thanks for the info though.

I'm laughing at this stupid fuck because if I had an engine that had a problem where the lifters dug into the cam I'd figure out why before I even fired it up the second time. This idiot goes on and on and on about how HPP should have checked pushrod length and how he told them so. Well....NO SHIT! I think if it was my motor and I had "told them so" and it was my wallet that was taking the beating I would have went up there and checked them my damn self before it was fired up the THIRD time or the FOURTH time. Granted, HPP's man should know what the hell he is doing but if this fucking shitheel is going to use hindsight and talk about what should have been done then his actions are fair fucking game as well. What kind of an idiot just keeps throwing money out on the counter and saying "Here you go, I think you need to check this or that but it's just money.... FIX IT........."

learn to read instead of playing with keyboard functions....
Ill elaborate even more...
A plug is still glowing from making a pass...You killed the power first...which should have been ignition...The sooner you catch it the less fuel and nitrous gets into intake tract..TB blade closed and all...You let off the gas kill the car simple..
Now that you blipped the throttle, you just allowed unburnt fuel/nitrous mixture go into a cylinder as you were cutting the car off.
A plug that is glowing red hot will still light a mixture (this is also a reason why people run cooler plugs in race applications...to prevent PRE IGNITION BILL! when its not actually getting a spark....guess what...when you killed the car the vavles are still going to be open on some cylinders sending that boom out the intake...TB blade closed...its gotta blow somewhere!!!!...thats vavletrain and camshaft stuff...had you never blipped the THROTTLE and only cut the car off it would have still been intake. No extra fuel and juice would have gotte into the intake and all would have been well...Any more questions you want to ask...go for it...With all the reading you do, I really thought you could put two and two together on valvetrain motions, intake and exhaust valve events etc..

There aint no one that can tell you any different. thats the only thing coming from this..besides you are trying to take the heat off of HPP...
so yea, if they checked pushrod lenght the car would have left long time ago...
Aint no one gonna slap no body with out getting a face full of fist. Try me.
I listed several scenarios in my previous postings that could have happened to that motor..All the plugs are fine..Good deal. Takes the possibility of bent valves to a lesser probablity of the equation.
What you claim to have happened is only part of the problem. You have to dig depper on why the intake burst...And Ill repeat....too early or too late of timing events caused that mixture to ignite. Whether it was a small amount or large amount that seeped past the blade, it still got there and your shit is in pieces.
Another thing we know, is there isnt anyone disagreeing with my scenarios but you. You are the nitrous newbie....Not me.

You want some real diehard information, go sign up on Speedtalk.com and hear it from the engine builders themselves of why things happen. Go ahead bill, dont be scared.
But if the shop can't fix it right it's the customers fault for fucking it up in the first place. Once it enters into a shops doors to be repaired then it becomes 100% that shops responsibility. Especially on motor jobs. If the shop can't fix it right then it shouldn't have written up a ticket or accepted the job. But because it did it's all on their back.

Bill you have no leg to stand on by telling Mike he is a know it all. You argue stupid shit with people all the time and are set in your ways. Thats like the pot calling the kettle black. Actually Mike and Boosted are correct. With your stuck noid the power to the nitrous system is of no use, the nitrous will keep flowing anyway. You could have hit the ignition power and been good to go. Now that being said I know some 'braked valve bodies cant be put in neutral to coast without screwing them up so thats understandable too.
Back to the HPP thing. I dont hate them or do I love them and hang from their nuts like some blown up stangs on this site. Once that car entered HPP's bay doors and they took a wrench to it they aggreed to fix anyone and everyones screw ups. I have bent pushrods before doing the same thing and getting in a hurry. But there is NO WAY I would have done it time and time again and charged the customer for my screw ups.
Its threads like this that make me glad I dont let many people work on my car. if something gives I like knowing who to blame. ME!

Well depending on how you look at it he is getting fucked out of $4500.
What it boils down to is HPP took on a job and it ended up in a cluster fuck. Should they be responsible since they agreed and didnt send him to another shop like they should have if they arent specialized in LSX's? Or should he be responsible for being a dumbass stingy customer? Personally I assume all customers would go to a shop because they dont know better so it is the shops responsibility to do it right the first time and keep their good name. If you came to me and tell me you wanted me to install some heads but you wanted me to use the original 100,000 mile headgaskets because you couldnt afford new ones I would tell you to save up till you afford them and then come see me for the install.

i dont know shit about ls1 or am i a engine builder, but isnt a ls1 a roller motor?
and if it is a roller motor how do you flatten lifter? and its hydrulic(sp) which is very forgiving when it comes to setting valve lash, which there shoud be none on a hydro cam right? ive never had work done by HPP but the seem to have a good rep. and the seem to be going out of there way to help this guy.

Nope we were bustin on Bill cause he cant take constructive critisism (sp?) worth a shit and thinks he knows everything. That and cutting off the circulation to HPP's balls from hugging so tightly.

That's what happened! HPP's balls had no circulation, thus no testosterone being produced, meaning they lose some car knowledge, and they forgot to measure the pushrods. Right? :rolleyes: That makes as much sense as the bulk of this thread.
