Well, it seems I'm out $3200 dollars. I recieved my rebuilt short block back in Dec. 05. As I opened the crate I found a broken rod bolt. I was told by Grooms that they would send me a new bolt. At this point I should have sent the motor back, but instead I trusted that I was dealing with good people and that they knew what they were doing. Big mistake. After 1000 miles, no beating or detonating, on a long interstate drive my oil pressure started to nose dive. I got home and discovered bearing material in the oil filter and later, a whole lot in the oilpan. I called Grooms and was told they would not warranty the engine since it had been 6 months since I recieved it, even though the car didn't move out of my garage until May, this is northern Illinois. I reminded them about the rod bolt, they said that couldn't be the problem because that would have showed up sooner. So I asked them what I was supposed to do and they said I could send it back to them but it was going to cost about $3000-3200 again because it was a stage 3 block. Then when I asked if I could pay for an additional warranty, they said no because it was a "hot rod" motor and they would never warranty it. So apparently they can charge $3000 for a piece of crap engine that will have to replaced every year. This is for a motor that is supposed to made for racing. Good plan for Grooms, not so good for the costomer. When I told them I was going to post this on TurboBuick.com, they weren't even fazed, apparently Chevy and Ford engines are all they need and have turned thier backs on us Buick folk. I won't forget.
