Is it a Jim's motor or an HD product? Actually guess it doesn't matter. With the problems both have been having it's a distinction without a difference.
I agree. From what I've read here and elsewhere, Jim's obviously graduated from the H-D School of Customer Disservice summa cum laude. And the quality of some of their parts makes one believe they also went to the H-D School of Disfunctional Engineering and Quality Control.
I guess the obvious question now is, does the crate come with the motor? That could be a serious issue, because it's possible you'll need to ship the engine back at some point and I understand from one of our members that they had a real problem getting Jim's to send the crate so his dealer could ship his POS engine back for warranty evaluation and repair. Sounds like another great idea for controlling warranty costs. Can't fix it until you ship it back, but you can't ship it back without our crate, and we can't seem to figure out how to send one to you.
It sure would be nice if S&S or one of the other aftermarket companies would put out a nice TC based complete engine that would bolt in.
