rotary warehouse - how NOT to build an engine
#51
Turns out, I wasn't able to send the core engine as we planned due to unforeseen issues on my end.. At the end of Jan/Feb I told RotaryWarehouse/Steven that I had issues,etc and I'd be in touch.. sent an email in March and April (should have called but didn't, my fault) w/o response. Now here it is, end of April, no communication from Steven (which I honestly blame BOTH of us - me and him for that), no engine, nada..
I'm not really sure how I think about this situation and how its turning out but I've had a few calls over the last 3 or 4 months from members & non-members asking about RW/Steven and my experience with 'em. I'm 110% honest with those who ask (even one recent member wanted info on RW/Steven)..
my comments were
-I think he meant well but we both dropped the ball a few times
-If he was local, *most likely* would not have an issue at all
-Gave me a very good feeling as to wanting to work with me / solve issues,etc.
now i understand RW's primary (if only) engine builder quit, shop is/was/will be closing,etc..
hell at this point - I think RW ought to meet me half way and refund half the cost of the engine and call it a day - fat chance.
To Steven/RotaryWarehouse -
I do not have your info anymore - old emails were purged,etc...
Please contact me - I'd like to wrap this bad engine / bad port job up on a good note. I'd settle to just meet in the middle - refund half the cost of the engine and i'd move on on a good note.
I've still got the engine in a sealed engine-bag if anyone cares to see ;x
$4k Stage4 ported by a 6 year old ;x

I'd say sorry to hear that, but it's a good idea to get the info from the seller, and take it to the company like you eventually did, but first.
I don't think its RW's fault that it happened, because it was bought second-hand, just a lesson to be learned I guess.
Sorry to hear about that, hopefully you can get it all sorted out soon!

RW hasnt done anything for me at all - nothing. We did talk about it though.. As of now, RW/Steven hasn't replied to my emails.
The porting, bad internals ,etc IS their fault. If the org-buyer took the engine home and pinged the crap out of it, wouldn't change the awful porting or lack of corner seals,etc.
On top of that, I got the feeling that they've closed up shop anyhow.
