All it would have taken is a tech bulletin/tech sheet stating the changes required.
THAT would have changed everything.
If you're advised/warned/told and still complain then it is your fault.
TTI lists obstacles that installers will encounter with their headers.
Holley included a thick booklet on how to install and tune their carburetors.
Dave has dealt with thousands of customers with a wide range of levels of experience but hey....let's just forego any pro-active advice that may make all the difference in the sale.
Oh, and just to make it better, let's be rude to anyone that encountered trouble.
But wait...there is MORE....
Stick it to the customers with a nearly 20% restocking fee when even the most that other vendors charge is 15%.
THAT ought to help the business expand!
How can you write a tech sheet that covers every aspect of installing high ratio rockers?
It would be damn near a book. It’s not a one size fits all install. He has no clue on valve stem height or anything else.
That’s insane to think he should write detailed instructions to install the rockers.
Clearly, CLEARLY the OP wasn’t competent to do the work, nor was he capable of learning how to install them, so Dave is the bad guy and has to eat the loss??
Not one of you guys defending the OP would take a loss like that more than once.
If you did your *** would be broke and out of business.
I just took a Quick Look at his rocker costs. I saw a little over 1300 bucks. Could be more expensive rockers but that was the most expensive ones on the first page.
5% of 1324.70 is a little over 66 bucks.
So you want me to believe if Dave just charged 5% less for a restocking fee all would be well?
I highly doubt that and I doubt you believe that either.
