Seriously, WTF is the deal with this engine? It's one problem after another

x2. I spent the time reading thru all the pages awhile back and that thing is scary!! From everything I've read and the photo's posted, none of this looks or sounds remotely like something BES would initially do in any of their builds, now what happens to it after it leaves their shop can be another story! They are local to me and I've never heard anything negative on the quality of their work and They've been around for a long time in this area. I know who I'd be pitchin a fit with on all of this.
Sad deal.

This engine was shipped directly from BES.

Have you talked directly with them over this? I'm just stunned to believe that they are totally behind the build of your motor and some of the hack work pictured in your post.

If BES is going to affiliate themselves with other engine builders...they should check the work that has their name on it.
