Hope you find some sanity after this.  And I know it's an empty consolation, but if I had the money, I'd take that engine.

Pending what ADC and I can work out on this, I *may* still supply him with some shortblocks pending my schedule etc so don't hesitate to call ADC for your engine needs.
Other than that, I've been really trying to cut down on the other pieces of work I was doing since last year anyways so this really isn't a huge deal, just kind of an announcement of something that I've slowly been creeping towards.

You and ADC should only sell shortblocks to established CEG/FCO'ers.  I've been saving up for either your block or to do it myself... just trying to decide if I have the time and know-how to do it myself (while I continue to save up). This would suck if you close doors because of some ignorant asshats dad, but I'd completely understand if you do call it quits. Best of luck!

If this was ADC's customer, why didn't ADC take the customer service hit? You just sold the engine to ADC for a customer. Even if they had you drop shipped it, you where still representing ADC and all calls should have gone to them.
That's bogus.

ADC is now handling it, I got into it because I was trying to help out and any damage claims due to shipping have to go through me anyways.
