That's brutal. Well, if you ever order rotors from me, you will be pleasently surprised that the rotors themselves are packed in plastic bags, and then Mono foam is used to secure them in the box. It's a bitch to unpack, but so far eccentrics, rotors, housings, etc. have NEVER been damged when I have shipped this way.

you didnt use onna those in my engine did ya as punishment
Kevin also told me that my rotor i bought had been shipped shitty as hell also and was surprised nothing had been damaged.
Kevin, I really appericate that instead of going insane and saying "DON"T EVER BUY FROM THIS GUY or I WAS RIPPED OFF"
You instead provide us with a good example of a bad rotor and what you have to deal with. Your professionalism is hope that people are not out there to just make money but to make the community aware, smarter, and thankful
BTW: Kevin when is the gallery going to be up on your site?
You'd think if you bought the rotors from somebody who had most likely owned a 7, they would've had the common knowledge of knowing how fragile rotors are?
Kev's the silent type.
chewing up all those that have done him harm.
You still need cores Kevin?
sound more like a virus to me
There is a guy around here who has an engine who wants to get rid of it. I don't know if its blown but its seen the sun more than I have this summer.
Too bad there isnt a way I could buy them, open them up for inspection, and THEN pay based upon what is useful inside. As it stands, 1 out of 3 cores I get is pure junk, a waste of money, shipping, and time. BUt then sometimes you get a pleasant surprise...
Goddamn shipping companies.
but how much would you be willing to sell those dead cores?

Yes all that stuff made it fine, though the printer box was a bit worse for the wear
Just in time too...I just got a 91 t2 that needs a rebuild, and prior to this I had NO s5 t2 parts. So, at least I can get this thing on the road...the engine that was in it was severely overheated and allowed to sit and rust; all 3 irons had water jacket channels broken, both rotorhousings had broken exhaust studs, and both rotors were rusted solid, so there were no useable parts in that one. Glad I got this stuff. Hope we got yours straight, too. If not, I dunno what else to do.

sell the car and buy a mustang! err wait no way
Glad all went well.. yea that printer box had some weight in it. I'm just glad that rotor made it oke. I figured if it was in it's own box padded then inside another it should be oke.
Sorry i never got that dowel out of the front iron.. but to be honest my motivational factors were lacking so I was like it fits in the box.. it's good to go
Surprisingly the car seems to run better then it did before.. I haven't got alot of miles on it due to the temperature and my work schedule.. It seems to be a happier RX-7 just because it's being driven thanks agian for the help! btw R&L is sending me a check for 60 bills due to the screwed up pickup/delivery charges.

Ok, I'll try to get a pallete and get it weighed/see how much shipping will be and such and if it's not too bad we'll make a deal or something. One less thing taking up space

Better yet, how about a deal for that TII hood that needs some TLC?
Core (front cover/oil pump/oil pan/rotors/housings/e-shaft) for the hood, and then we'll have to cover shipping for each? You know you want to get that ugly thing out of your sight, come on, you know you want to!

This thread has kind of gotten off track. Is the solution only to use green loc-tite? to me it seems that we need to hear from others who have the sleeves in place and have had no issues using the green. Also, has anyone used other methods to attach the inserts?
The sleeves seem like a good mod. I just do not want to puke a rotor or risk it.
Has anyone used new sleeves with the inserts? is this a better option?

This thread was not about PR sleeves. Search for posts by me in the last 3 months and youll find the original, lengthy PR sleeve thread.
This thread was about improperly shipped rotors.

This should be taken up in Good Guy/Bad Guy, not the 2nd gen tech section. Thread left open so others may comment, but this issue with importboi is not to be discussed here. Thanks.

Having shipped alot of stuff UPS, I can say that "insurance" mostly just covers a lost package. I once shipped a 1" swaybar (in a box) and it got bent. "Insurance" didn't cover it because it wasn't double boxed with 3" of padding in each box. They must have run over it with a truck to bend this thing.
