Phil The Ace Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Engines get spent back for a service but when they return they are total different engines and not the one they sent. Â That's been a problem for a few riders. Cookie one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedibee Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************+ Engines get sp**********ent back for a service but when they return they are total different engines and not the one they sent.That's been a problem for a few riders. Cookie one of them had this problem with a tuner from the Northeast, sent him an engine back after paying 400 quid for a service because He forgot to put the oil filter bolt back in , and we started it and all the oil sprayed out , so we sent it back to see if any damage had been done ,it was still running when it went back , and had just had new conrod piston and the bore relined ,+ new ignition system he loaned us an engine while he looked at the other one ,which he subsequently sold to us . messed us about with our own engine for months ,then after more than a few angry phone calls , sent us back a box of scrap , and swore blind that was the engine we sent to him , later on we heard stories of him building engines and supplying new pistons Conrods barrels etc for incredibly low prices , , send an engine to these people make sure all the individual parts are engraved with your name - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Do you mean that the engine doesn't perform like it did before the service or they are literally sent a different engine back? Totally different engine. Riders take photos and/or engrave certain markings to prove it's there etc, so they can tell when there engine doesn't return but a totally different engine does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraud, Theft etc.. are being implied here. Â I, for one, had no idea that this sort of thing could possibly happen in Speedway. Â I suppose I am naive about such matters sadly.

It's been going on for years . in the 80's a top rider who was also part of a tuning business had new parts every 4 races , then they were taken out and put in other peoples engines who were then charged for brand new bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
