The story behind this is one of the guys I know ordered this set of pistons for his shelby 2.2. When he got them he took one out of the box and said "oh thats cool" and took them right over to the machine shop which was machining his engine for fit. The machine shop put the pins and clips and rods on and gave him his block and every thing back for him to assemble. He just put them in and the car ran well for ~3000 miles till Blammo... (look at pics and read on)
As you can see this is one befuggled piston. He sent it back to JE and they ADMITTED it was defective. ADMITTED!!!!! There wasn't enough material mear the oil ring. Even better take a look at the Wrist pin holes...the bearing surface isn't even all there!!! They would not give him any compensation towards another rebuild. AND BETTER: They wouldn't even replace their own piston!!!
They sang him some bullshit story on how they don't warranty their race parts, and it should of been picked up on pre-assemly inspection. So this is my boycott page to someone who should be put on a universal bad-guy list. Yeah you might make nice products but bon't admit to a faulty product and not at least give the man a new piston.
I personally would of got on the phone to the better business bureau and lodged a complaint....but even that doesn't get you very far today.
So this page will sit in cyberspace (at least until I get a summons which I will then post on here!) as a testament to BUYER BEWARE, CHECK YOUR STUFF FROM J. E.. Don't trust anyone... cause you never know when some business is going to poke you in the cornhole!!
