It is the difference between manufacture and assembly. The fact is most tuners today are little more than assemblers, even the good ones. The manufacturers are not the organisations that people on this forum and most of the other forums go to simply because we can't afford to and their skills tend to filter down via commercial reseller agreements or by poaching people now and again who can bring the knowledge with them. Now there are of course levels of assembly but much of the tuning world is to quote a good mate, snake oil and pixey dust and expecting most of them to be little more than assemblers with a differing level of end valeting is at best naive.
Not trying to defend anyone here, just trying to say it's a fickle world. I have seen threads like this about people such as JZM, Parr and Fearns too and I don't think anyone would argue that they know their stuff and have a great reputation, though again they are mostly doing the Manthey thing rather than innovating their own stuff when it comes to adding 'stuff'. All of them know Pork well and do a thorough and excellent job but now and again it will go wrong, that is business. How you deal with it of course matter and this may be where some people get it wrong. I am absolutely confident that there is no smoke without fire however in the same way I am clear that some customers are simply dick heads who should be slapped and sent packing, with no inference to anyone in this thread either, simply the way of the world. If your card is marked on the internet however you need to tread VERY carefully and I suspect this is where this all started and the management of this is key.
Right then I am going to start my own business, what is the L10 cap on the top of the engine for, is it important and do I need to make sure the water goes all the way to the top?
