It doesn’t remove any significant material to notice with bearing clearances and it was never done to your motor. Maybe it was mentioned or talked about but the crank is untouched by anyone other then subaru.
Oh snap… Part Deux.
Are you kidding me Jay?!?!?!?!? First off I never blew up your spot on the issue at hand here, some other member did. I posted I was sitting back to watch and wait to see what YOU wanted to do, knowing what had happened(abeit not the underlying cause) from phone calls from “people” and messages from yourself. If you read my posts carefully I was stating that whoever may be at fault should be the one to cover it and IF Synapse was at fault they should stick to their guns and do what is right. All awhile at the same time saying people make mistakes and are entitled to them. I posted your PM content after the issue had split to this thread and the issue blown open… and was simply trying to clarify and clear up exactly what Morgan had said to you and to state that if it was true it was. Yea I may have ruffled Morgans feathers a bit but I just wanted to know if Morgan did say that to you(and state it’s not good business practice if indeed true) and even went as far as to say to Morgan that If it wasn’t true that I extend my apologies forthright… Morgan came back and clarified it, you backed his statement. If you didn’t want me making what you typed known public you should have said such. It’s public domain in my eyes.
Second I NEVER pick fucking sides in this business. Had you actually taken the time to meet me, know me, and see what it is that I do here you’d realize that I have zero to gain from picking sides and being biased about anything. Everyone that knows me knows I move/work/talk/post off fact only in this business and am not going to pick sides of some pointless debacle over a god damn EJ257 build. It’s a fucking engine and a measly few bucks at best income working around it. Worthless to point fingers over and ruin someone else’s day, or some other businesses image. Those that think or even hint at that I would pick sides to sway business my way or to make some other local business “look bad” in the eyes of a small localized group on internet folk can just go jump off a cliff. Don’t have the time or patience to work with them.
I give Morgan and the guys at Synapse plenty of respect and give them credit for what they do and have done in the past. Have I had a couple tussles with them here on the net? Yeah sure, but over little petty shit that was clarified and sorted out. Moved on. Paul and I get into 'heated" engine discussions??? Sure do, but I still respect him in the end and his talent as an engine builder as I’m sure he does for me. They do GREAT shit and won’t ever take that away from them. With that in mind, on two separate events you have called/contacted me about shit that hit the fan with your engine and I gave you possible avenues as to failure and why it MAY have blown, cams broke, etc, etc… but never did I say Synapse DID fuck it up and go pointing fingers/blame at them. I don’t know them, couldn’t pick Morgan, Mike, Paul or anyone else down there out of a crowd to save my life, and sure as shit won’t go blaming them for crap like this that’s beyond my realm of fact.
Horse shit, that’s what this is.
Hope the motor goes well Jay.
:wow
I went and re-read all the posts boxer made, he did state several times he was not sure who was at fault. This thread should probably just end here.
lets get three people to close it. Swift is one, I amd two. One more whose it gonna be :banana BTW; I agree that the topic starter def. is at fault for blowing up this issue. I saw no reason for said indiviual to start this thread when i first began but what the hell heck do i know any way.
It’s pretty funny, how as soon as some facts get posted from a reputable source, people want the thread closed.
I wanted this thread closed a while ago but whatever. I probably wouldn’t have posted Rons findings about my Synapse motor if this thread had not been here or at least if the subject line had been accurate.
And Adam don’t sweat it I was just heated that you quoted a PM.
If you want the thread closed all you have to do is pm a mod/admin
so people not even involved in this situation are the ones that want it closed? wtf?!
Hopefully this is the last time I have to read a thread like this from you jay, good luck and keep us posted
I cannot see this thread going anywhere and i’m losing interest in debating, as the information presented is so blatantly false and untrue. Someone is clearly trying to discredit me and the shop I work for to become the “hero” that saved Jay from the bad guys. I guess because the engine is horizontally opposed I cannot figure out to correctly assemble, measure or torque anything on it. And two different machine shops can’t get the bores right either. I wish more people on this forum were engine savy so that they could comprehend just how silly these claims are. Thanks for putting the bearing chart in your sig, I cannot find it in my subaru sti repair manual. This has a lot to do with a blown headgasket on a 400+ hp car.
many of us are def engine savy, but at the same time we are smart enough to not get involved. It has now turned into a shop vs shop thing and unless you are part of either shop or own the car in question then you really should keep out of this. This is def srs bzn.
you don’t have to be an engine genius to know that what you say and what the new shop says do not match up
This thread shouldn’t be closed.
There’s an obvious problem and the two parties involved should discuss it and come to terms whatever they are.
I wasn’t the topic starter boy wonder. The thread was split a LONG time ago…hence why someone edited my post to indicate Synapse. Thanks for playing though. What do we have for him Johnny? :stfu
i hate wiring? :headbang
Paul, don’t bother arguing with people who are obviously clueless about engines and metallurgy.
dont bother commenting on a thread that has no impact on your life in one way or another… you are very quick to criticize people, but i think you should stay out of this. let the grown ups talk for once little boy and sit in the corner.
^^^^OH YESSS!!!

The irony is strong in this post.
