Kudos to Speedway Motors

[Shoebox]

I know that opinions vary regarding Speedway Motors, at times my own as well. I purchased an Offenhauser 8ba block pressure testing kit back in March and used it for the first time last week. Happily the test of the passenger side was successful. Reinstalling the head plate to the other side I found that the provided sealing washers, a steel washer with rubber bonded to the bottom side, are not 100% reusable, I had about 8 bolt/washers that were bubbling under pressure. I removed those bolts and saw the washers were deformed (I had torqued bolts to the recommended 20 ft lbs) so I tapped them flat as best I could and used the one extra washer on a bolt. I had success with a couple I had massaged as well as the bolt with the new washer.



So I called Speedway, talked to some folks and explained that I was not able to completely test one block. They understood and sent me a bunch (more that I needed) of these sealing washers, will be here Saturday, at no charge.


Just thought I'd share a positive example of Customer Service.
