Brad does stand by his products and is a top bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 16y 11m 8d Posted 25/01/12 11:02 AM Share Posted 25/01/12 11:02 AM Loose bolts?? Sounds like it was going to be a problem once the loose bolts were found. And pinching bits off an engine that was already paid for and kept for a customer?? that's a bit sh*t too imo. My BA had a similar concern when my valve springs were failing. Would get to 4800rpm and lose 100kw.Most Ford dealers have probably R nd R more engines than any tune shop I know,so wouldnt think they would of/could of farked anything up. May not hurt to ask if they tightened the cam caps to correct torque though.. One would expect better from such a known company like Atomic,but hopefully its all soughted soon.

If I get a answer from brad soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arronm Dropping a turd Gold Donating Members 9,520 Member For: 17y 2m 12d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 25/01/12 02:28 PM Share Posted 25/01/12 02:28 PM We bought a car with an engine built from another well know tuner ( engine builder ETC). Had a few issues with bits breaking and parts failing. BUT there is good and bad stories about most performance shops. I hope you get your issues sorted out quickly. Car laying over at 4800rpm could be many things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
