Thats weird how he chose not to warranty it. Is there a reason why he said no?
Did he say to send it in and they can look at it or ?

I decided to source my block today from RJM.
I just purchased a bare closed deck short block with an added crank and a set of VVEL Heads 370z.
They will ship it by the end of this week to Kyles' shop and assemble it probably and hopefully next week.

I think its going to go well. Its closed deck so it will be strong. They say closed decks can hold up to 40+ psi and is for boosted applications.

The thing about IPP is that all the blocks they build are open. Therefore it is prone to fail if on a boosted application.

RJM told me they have had 5 IPP blocks sent to them for rebuilding in the past 6 months. That scared the crap out of me so I decided to go with a closed deck last second lol.

And I trust RJM because they make sick stuff lately lol.
Successful. Stuff.
Yeah I had it sent to him for inspection and he denied it. Piece of **** motor.
No warranty. 5 in 6 months huh? I wonder if he's ever honored a warranty lol. Hope yours lasts longer. The issue was with the valves, not the bottom end, so a stronger block wouldn't have saved it.
