Wow, I don’t even know where to start.
Most of your complaints seem to be based around the Crankshaft.
So let’s start there. I carry two brands of crankshafts. Scat and Promaxx. Both Crankshaft’s have their pros and cons which I have openly discussed with both manufactures. After all this is how you improve products.
After discussing it with you we went with Promaxx partially due to the fact that you were bashing Scat. Both Crankshaft currently sell for $585.00 that come balanced to a factory spec/tolerance.
If you would like to have it re-balanced that’ll add another $150.00 which gets you to your second complaint and misrepresentation and lie on your part.
Due to the economics of manufacturing, unfortunately
many of our parts are coming from overseas specifically from China and in both cases that holds true for our Jeep crankshafts from both Scat and Promaxx. When these parts are shipped overseas in cargo containers they are covered with rust prohibitors such as cosmoline.
In order to send my crankshaft to my balancer (somebody that I’ve been using for over 20 years and he’s been doing precision Balancing for 47 years) I have to do my do my best to remove this coating and provide him with a oil free crankshaft as possible with the limiting factors because of my over regulated state of California will only allow water base cleaners. Each Crankshaft that goes to balance is in my vertical parts washer for a minimum of an hour and immediately is blown off with pressurized clean hot water and blown off with an air hose. Because the cast crankshaft is porous, there might be some but limited rust spots that you have pictured.
After Balancing the Crankshaft is micro polished and is left with a better finish than prior to cleaning.
The second part of your misrepresentation is what you call “Mold” is part of the leftover caustic residue that in some cases in found in inside sections of the counterweight which doesn’t receive maximum pressure from my cleaning machine. It’s understood by most that two of the parts in my kit require cleaning before assembly. The Crankshaft and the connecting rods.
You also seem to be obsessed by your Crankshaft not being in a box when I securely placed in your carpeted trunk surrounded by your other parts. In my last email to you I explained that the Crankshaft’s that I get from Promaxx come on a pallet. They are obviously individually boxed but are boxed from China and if anybody has seen the quality of boxes coming from China in which the boxes are typically damaged from shipping specially when the Crankshafts are stacked on top of one another.
Lastly 2 representatives of two of the manufactures involved in the parts in your kit called me after hours (one of them being the owner of the company) and said “Where did you find this guy?”
and not surprisingly shared with me how are you are phone and email stalking them considering an example of an email you sent me “I’m going to Burn you down Mother#ucker” that isn’t surprising.
With that this concludes our dialogue.
