i'm curious how you broached your engine failure with dave at rallispec and what his response was. its really not like not to stand behind his work. 3 failures out of 100 steet spec blocks sold isn't really a terrible ratio. sure zero is better, but some many different things can cause a failure. nothing personal to 1320, but i'd like to see evidence that this failure was caused by improper assembly. we are all human and mistakes "can" be made, but daves skill, experience and knowledge is up there with the best of the subaru mechanics out there today and its not his style at all to send something out that wasn't perfectly assembled. the blame game helps no one. broken motors dont help anyone either but maybe something can be learned from g00fys misfortune.

Honestly, I don't want to go any further then the information I got and relayed on the forums. I don't know enough about this stuff to make my own assumptions, so I'm not gonna push it, i posted what i was told, and since it was caught before a catastrophic failure like a seized rod I'm not too upset about it. I know motors are assembled at 8am on a Monday morning with a nasty hangover and 4pm on a Friday afternoon after a rough week, and judging by my luck i wouldn't be surprised if I got one of those... I just figured I'd post what was found in case anyone else out there has a similar problem.
