    Basko engine service....fiasco

    I just had my 289 K motor built at BASKO ENGINE SERVICE in Gilbert, AZ
    After repeated valve lash problems due to them reinstalling the used rocker stud nuts I test drove the car and lost an oil galley plug ( fell out).
    Cooked the motor.
    This kind of sloppy work needs to be advertised. BASKO said they would
    "fix it" but I wouldn't let them touch another of my motors if it were free.
    They came highly recomended but this is just poor attention to detail.

    They've done well for the machine work I've brought them. I'd say give them one final chance to fix it, but specify exactly what parts are to be used.

    Have them tap the galley hole and install a threaded plug.

    I had some wrist pins machined there, and they are all idiots of course thats in my opinion. I wont take anything there, plenty others out there I would rather take a shot with.
