Defense attorney says "When the customer took possesion of said engine, all peices were intact and undamaged."

My machinist told me no implied or expressed warranty. Just means that for what the motor is doing, its not built to last 200 million thousand miles. However its good to see that he would be a stand up guy and realize this sort of thing doesnt just happen on the first time out.

Yep...no such thing on warranties on things that will be repeatedly "put through the ringer" ;) I wouldnt have been too upset if it happened after a full season, especially if i was using the nitrous for a bit, but the first time out and not even making a full pass is a different story.

I should see the new motor in the first week of June.
