I feel for you mate. 4K is a lot of money for something you're obviously not happy with. Hope you manage to work things out.

Yes trying to find a solution now, me and the old man have made a portfolio of evidence for when we have to take it tht route. I need the money back to build it really as im redundant in 2 weeks so ill be moneyless if i cant find a job quicktime.

When it turned over 1/4 turn and you couldn't turn it anymore, did it just get very tight or feel as though it hit something? Do you have a cam in it?

And I'm not a fan of them waterways

4k is a lot for a short engine, benross will build you a full engine, head, sc box clutch cam etc etc. For less.

Never nice to see people being messed about on builds.

Its possible the caps have been mixed or put on the wrong way around when being chucked together. If you like I can have a word with Brett to see if he can inspect it to see if its otherwise ok

Brett's in Hampshire so not very local but if you can get it down to Wiltshire I'm going down to collect my engine this month.

Alternatively ask a local engine rebuilder to inspect it.

Ill have to look around and see whos close, ive already got someone lined up off here to build take 2 up but its too far for getting this checked there, ive rang one big company to see wether they would look they just gave me some advice but said they cant get involed with soneone elses engine which is fair enough.

Keep searching - look for a respected and well known engineering company as they're more likely to give you what you need i.e. an engineering report on the condition of the engine. And you can use that report in court as part of your evidence. You will find such a company.

A company that says they can't get involved sounds just as dodgy as the first one, tbh.

I wouldn't want to get involved. Does that make me dodgy? No, it makes me busy.. or perhaps I don't want the hassle.. or perhaps it's as I'm not in possession of the full facts and only getting one side of the story and think it might end up being a real pain in the ass.

If the situation is as described then I feel sorry for the guy out of pocket, but it is no reason to assume that any company that just doesn't want anything to do with it is dodgy.

You need to start court proceedings asap IF what you have said is true, also name and shame stops others getting ripped off

Wolfie, I think Rick is going to get things resolved one way or another before stating the name. For the record it is who you probably think it is, enough said.

I remember "the-stroker" on TMF got a full engineering report on a engine smart performance built for him after he had problems, and then took him to court.

Its mra minis, cant not say it coz its starting to really piss me off how someone can so blatently do something like this with money ive worked hard for, especially as ill be redundant in about a week so the project will come to a complete stop cheers to them.
