My boy's Golden Eagle Mfg. block had more than one problem. The bore on my block was a little bigger than I would of liked but worked out ok. Now all the problems with qitstrn. Now I remember why I recommend Benson to people.

This is my second problem. Imagine when i try to drive it or make a pass. Worst part is i now have TRIPLE the money in that block then i should. Lets put it this way i have my old GSR motor that runs perfectly for sale for less then i have just in this block. Thats $2,500.

It sucks man I'm sure once you get past this small problem you will be on your way. My boy (that I gave you his contact) had more problems than your initial problem. He got it taken care of and last week he put down over 600whp on a Mustang Dyno.

I know i will get past this and it can be fixed. It is the principle of the matter and the fact that they wont stand behind their problems. If i had noticed this when i recievd the block back i can tell you they would have made me pay to have it shipped back. They already made me pay the shipping last time to and back from GE. So if they fix it for free i will still have $200 in shipping. Thats what i'm pissed about. What a crappy company. If they were on this coast i would pay them a visit in person even if i had to drive to NY. Shit a plane ticket is not much compared to what i have in this project.

I didn't like the expense of aebs but after hearing all this when I do sleeve my block it wont be GE, and if by some chance I forget someone kick me in the nuts, and remind me.
