Beware: Plum Floored Creations....

Should have listened to some on here and not go to Floored Plum Creations but i did and paid for it. Ben i trusted and talked a good game and is very friendly but QUALITY sucks, and once he got my money, he was done even with all the issues i had with my car.

Ben gave me a block with a history of pistons being blown up in it, and then it was bored out, well the shop did not do a good job on line honing or i don't even think honing was done to it. By the way i did not know the history on this block until it was sold to me and the machine told me all the issues with it but all Ben told me was its a good block with 2k miles on it. Well thats ok if its used but to find out issues with uneven cylinders really got to me.

Anyways Ben sold me this block, then he ordered me new Pistons, rings, crank, pretty much fully forge engine internals.

Well guess what ? The pistons are not the right size since they were 30,000 down the hole, and not all the way to the top of the cylinder, and he said that was fine. Ok then Ben tells me the compression ratio is right at close to 10 to 1 and who cares if its not at the top of the cylinder, well then i thought ok fine whatever. I asked machine shop and then they told me it was actually around 9.4 to 1 and not 10 to 1. Machine shop also told me that Ben got me the wrong set of pistons and rings for my build that really pissed me off because they told me this after my car was done.

Then i start driving it around, and all of sudden i am burning oil real quick, 6,000 miles in it, and i was using around 8 quartz of oil and Ben tells me thats normal and let the engine break in. Well i thought break in oil is around 1000 miles and not 6000 miles. Ben also mentioned that i live in ARizona and in the summer im gonna burn much more but used up 8 quartz of oil in 6,000 miles ? Asked around and almost every shop that isn't normal and something is wrong with the pistons ring not seated.

He didn't want to deal with the issues i was having at all and he keeps telling me Kellys machine shop which is his vendor made the mistakes but i keep telling him that I'm your customer Ben and not kellys. He blames machine shop but they just install the rings and pistons, ben ordered all these internals and didnt want to admit that the pistons were incorrect.

I took it to a great shop, and Then i find out my top rings were the wrong size, and i had uneven cylinders They said the cylinders were not even line honed or even honed at all after they bored it out. Also the top rings were supposed to be 1.5mm but they were 1.2mm. Well this shop charged me 7k but they had to order new parts that fit my engine and all the labor, disassemble, assemble, machine work, install, etc.. It is now fixed though.

Ben keeps blaming Kellys Machine shop here in Phoenix Arizona but i keep telling him that I'm his customer and Kellys machine shop is his vendor so he needs to take it up with him not me.

I am so mad right now cause i liked Ben, like i said he's friendly and will work with u on price but horrible service.
