Paul Shinn has never published a list of dimensions from Willie that he thinks are out-of-tolerance. In Pauls's retracted video, he stated several measurements that he believes to be out-of-tolerance. The most notable out-of-tolerance dimensions can be found in post #1 of this thread. One of Paul's assertions in his deleted video was that his 2 "New Engine Kits" could be combined with $4800 of machine work to make one new engine.

Post #1 in this thread also describes how the "New Engine" cylinder blocks (and other parts) are verified at the factory using a CMM in a dedicated temperature-controlled room.

Those that are familiar with SolidWorks and automated machining know that if you have a discrepant part, there is a likelihood that all parts in the same production run will have the same problem.

We never doubted that Paul Shins's parts had a problem, but needed to know because the problem may have resulted in a costly recall.

After 2 months of prodding, Paul Shinn agreed to take his parts to a 3rd party for evaluation.

Paul chose Tim McMaster at Hanford Auto Parts to be the 3rd party and evaluate his new engine parts.

Paul spent an entire day at Hanford Auto Parts taking videos and condensed those videos into one that is just over an hour in length.

The measurements taken by Tim McMaster at Hanford Auto Parts and recorded by Paul Shinn are in Paul's video that he won't publish. We have the measurements in a separate document from Tim McMaster, and they are published in post #28 of this thread.

We cannot post Paul's deleted video with Willie and his video taken at Hanford Auto Parts for legal reasons.

If Paul wants to present himself as an unbiased reporter, he needs to let everyone see his complete video that was deleted where Willie states that for $4800, he can combine Paul's 2 "New Engine Kits" to make one new engine, and the entire condensed video taken at Hanford Auto Parts where Tim McMaster made measurements that Paul recorded and where Tim stated that there are no problems with the 2 "New Engine Kits" that Paul brought for evaluation.

Our sales are to individuals and engine builders. Paul was denied being a distributor because we don't need middlemen that will increase the price for consumers. This may be a factor in Paul's reporting.

Paul either needs to "man up" and say he made a mistake, or continue with his assertations that the "New Model A Engine" has many problems.

I'm beginning to think that lawyers may have gotten involved
