Hey Cheese,
I'm not sure what other engine builders would have done, I imagine they would say "pull it out, ship it back and we'll take a look at it"
I felt that S/A and Lyle really stood behind their product. Not only did they warrant the repairs parts, labor, new oil, filter, etc, but Lyle loaded everything up and drove the 16 hour [round trip] not only to repair the problem,
but he wanted to see first hand what the problem was so he can make sure it doesn't happen again. In this particular case, I don't think it was anything that was done wrong, it's just one of those things that can happen. For those of you that have never met Lyle, He's a very laid back, soft spoken kinda guy that really has a passion for what he does, and honestly takes it to heart when a problem arises.
I have to tease him a bit as he said he had never been to Indiana, but he wanted to know why there were so many ant hills built in some of the fields by the house.....They were big'ol craw-dad holes
Good People !
