 Robert,
 
 I normally don't enter disagreements in which I don't have an interest or
 know both sides of the story. It is obvious you are frustrated with what has
 transpired in your case.
 
 I have had good support from both Ron and Stuart for that past two years at
 Reno. I've even dropped by, a couple of times, at their place of business
 and Ron was very accommodating to my needs. I know of one instance where Ron
 flew in his own airplane to pick up an engine to help resolve an engine
 problem.
 
 I don't believe that Ron advertises that the engines he delivers are run to
 break in. I know mine wasn't.
 
 If late delivery of an engine is enough to condemn a producer of engines, I
 think the entire aviation engine producing group would have to be condemned.
 
 Regards,

 .  I did finally get my engine, 5 months late and a month after I had wired
 the balance to their bank because the engine was "crated and on the dock to
 ship
 
 The engine had supposedly been run on a dyno to break it in, but after
 installation on the aircraft from day 1 it ran extremely low oil pressure.
 Their suggested "fixes" did not work and it took the eye and insight of Mark
 Mahnke to discover that the rebuilder had assembled the engine with a bent
 oil pressure relief valve.  When that was replaced the engine brought in
 more reasonable oil pressure numbers.

 I have the engine and it seems to run OK now - so why am I bitching?  They
 owe me money!
