Re: Blueprint Engines 383 - My Bad Experience
also everything in a gmpp block/head/engine is brand new. blue print uses old "seasoned" blocks for their builds. a while back i was considering one of their engines, but now i think that i may avoid them. you would think that at the very least they would do an inspection tear down and free reassemble if nothing bad was found.

And as you said, if nothing is found bad why not reassemble the motor for free? Especially since it was there decision to have me return the motor for inspection. It doens't make sense. How much are they really losing?? Anyone considering purchasing from Blueprint Engines aka Marshall Engines should learn from my experience. In the end a warranty has no value if they will not honor it. One more thing, I just checked their Better Business Bureau rating. They have an 'F' rating which is the worst BBB can issue. Crap.

At this point they have the motor. If they do nothing and send it back I will definetely get it checked. Then I will report them to the Texas Attorney General and take them to court. How this ends is completely up to them. It's silly really..if this post gets 100 hits and 10 of those people choose not to buy their Product, that's over $40k in sales revenue lost. Their cost to make this right is a fraction of what they could lose thanks to the power of the Internet! I got it from Summit. They will hear from me if this goes badly.
