I ordered a rotory engine from ASAP Motors. When it arrived and was unpacked, several of the tubes for water hose connections and vacuum lines were packed with mud and then taped over. It looked as if the motor had been taken out and rolled in mud before it was packed for shipping.
When I called ASAP to bring this to their attention, I was told to clean it up as best I could and put in the car and see if it worked. Against my better judgment I installed the motor after digging out the mud from the openings. When I eventually got the engine running two shops and 6 weeks later it ran like crap. The third shop I took it to said there was nothing wrong with my installation and there must be something wrong with the motor internally.
When I called ASAP back to see if they would replace the motor, it was determined that the 90 day warranty expired seven days earlier. After a lengthy conversation with the general manager, Dina Armstrong, trying to explain the situation to her about why it took so long to determine the motor was bad, she would not bend on the 90 day warranty. I am now stuck with a $850 paper weight that was a piece of junk when they sent it to me.
Anybody that would tape over openings of a motor that were obviously caked with mud and then sell it is a crook. The first time I called to complain they should have offered a motor to replace it with. They conveniently did not keep a record of the call so had no way of proving or disproving I had called about the matter. Also, the fact that they would not bend on the 90 day warranty that expired just a few days earlier is evidence they are just out to get your money and not give you anything for it.
