Subject	[LML] Performance Engines (lack of) progress report

Recall the saga with Performance Engines who assembled my IO-550 with 10:1 forged pistons, but with insufficient piston-bore clearance. The pistons rubbed giving rise to ring flutter and blow by confirmed by subsequent teardown. I struck a deal with Ron Munson of Performance Engines. I would cover the labor costs of teardown and assembly and he would provide replacement pistons (8.5:1 stock ECI cast units this time) and rings and cover the cost of refurbishing the ECI CermaNil cylinders which were scored too badly for repair by honing.

I shipped the pistons to ECI for refurbis= hment about a month ago.

About two weeks ago the pistons and rings arrived from Performance Engines.

About ten days ago ECI confirmed that the reconditioned cylinders were ready to ship. I wrote (and subsequently re-wrote) Stuart and Ron at Performance Engines asking them to pay ECI, as agreed, for the cylinder repair costs so they can be released and shipped to me.

The response has been the frequent Perfor= mance Engines reply – SILENCE.

So here we are again with a public airing of dirty Performance Engines laundry – they made a promise of warranty support, but when the time comes to complete the deal – SILENCE.

So Stuart, Ron – how do you propose= to handle this?

Ignored in Australia,

Fred Moreno, gnashing teeth.
