pooling money together isnt gonna solve anything, its just gonna get the guy a new engine or get it repaired, as soon as he has another problem you will see him back on here again bashing it again, basically by giving him money you are reinforcing the way he acted. the distributor was willing to help him out but he was to impatient and wouldnt wait for them to get it taken care of, the fact the engine dosent have a warranty and they were willing to help him out of goodwill then he should have been happy and waited till they had it completed and sent it back.
