![]() ![]() If the problem was fixed and the motor is fresh, Then why buy another motor to take to a DIRT show ? I have no personal stake in any crate class anymore, I just care about local racing. I am certainly NOT accusing Noel's of cheating up a crate engine. I'm not accusing a specific person of cheating, especially not Derrick, because I don't even know him or anything about his situation. Who is babysitting the engine to see that it hasn't come apart a second time? What's next, fake a problem on a new engine, have it "repaired", promoter lets you go cause the engine is"new from XYZ Chevy". With everybody on this site vouching for someones legality, it would seem to be enabling someone to get an advantage. Plenty of ways to cheat up these engines, without the bolts it's just a little easier. ![]() Without promoters etc checking them thoroughly,they are wasting their time. Just because a few people say that it is legal internally, it doesn't matter. He has bought another motor due to the problems that this has caused and I hope that at least this post will explain the situation in detail so the finger pointing stops.īecause a crate without proper bolts is no longer legal. I obviously do not know what is done to the motors after they leave me but to be frank I think in this case it is a simple case of a failure from the factory that was corrected. I thought I would post this to the forum to set the record straight about his situation. As of last week Derrick bought another motor to run at Syracuse so it should put this issue to the back burner. So the record is straight I was personally involved in this deal and know the facts of why the motor was taken apart. It was repaired and now a few are assuming it is not legal. I have sold 40-50 of these engines and have not had a failure so I decided the right thing to do was give him the money to repair the motor. After a few days of discussions we both decided it might be better to send the motor to an approved rebuild center and have it repaired. As most of us know their is NO warranty on these engines but on rare occassions they will give a refund. He contacted me about the problem and I called my contacts at GM performance division and their "NEW" policy is that the motors have to be returned and after a 90 day.yes 90 day turn around they tear down the motor and if a failure can be found a refund is issued. Derrick bought a motor and after immediate install he had no oil pressure. ![]() As you know I sell alot of the racers 602 crate motors from General Motors. Just though I would come on to the Forum and correct some facts that I have heard flying in here. ![]()
