yah i think thats the way you should go too. even if its gonna be a quick fix
id agree with justin n mike..

although check to see if the warranty covers shippin..

and ensure the timing priority is maintained regardless..

I know I can do it. Thats not the point. I paid big $$$$ for an engine thats screwed!
thats why you got the warenty and you should definately take full advantage of it. pineapple was very good to me, with their customer service department. Rob will probably have it done quickly, and do a good job for you.

Yeah a warranty is there for a reason.I would tell them to pay the shipping for the return of the motor seeing as it is not your faulty that motor was ****.

Shipping for my motor from TX to VA is only $95 through Gorlc. You can check out their webpage, get quotes, terminal locations, etc. Engines are class 85, and a block weighs 225lb, longblock 350lb.
