preivers, I feel that all of these problems could have been completely avoided had BME run the engine prior to shipment. With a proper test setup the whole testing operation by the factory shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. Since BME indicates that all engines are supposed to be run before shipment and they knew that the customer was having problems, they should have requested the engine back before it was run. At this point I think BME should be willing to help the customer with reduced repair charges or eat the repairs.

However, at this point I have only heard one side of the story and my opinion is subject to change should new facts come to light.
