He mentioned that Rich's baffle had apparently failed and being the first had asked for the parts to be sent to him for inspection which he never got after agreeing to send a courier for them - the sump is what he really needed to see as it wasn't his and he had heard it was a complete mess.
It's not my argument it's between Rich and Doug but i would never take liability for parts/failure etc without seeing said items to make a decision.
So Justin do you have one of that design in yours?
In all fairness the guy is obviously very talented but for one i doubt he sat there and welded like a batch of 50 himself?
Secondly you can be the best at what you do in the world but a mistake can be made at any time and with the photo evidence you can clearly see this baffle has failed ..
In this circumstance he cant deny its failed and is the cause of the engine problem..
Thirdly rich had his engine built more than once by a well known and trusted engine builder so surely if the baffle was to look like it dint or couldnt work surely rich as the customer should of been told??
Fouthly ,the baffle itself has fallen apart at the welds so doesnt matter what he says about the sump itself as whatever happens the welds shouldnt fall apart??
