I bought this motor because I wanted a reputable company to stand behind their product with a warranty. Blueprint gave me the whole rundown on how they air check everything and torque everything, maybe it held together from them but fell apart for me. I'm surprised this thing held together during the so-called dyno run. I question if it was ever even honed as they say. Ridiculous!! Keep in mind I bought this motor because it comes with "NEW CAST IRON VORTEC HEADS"!!!!!!!! Buyer beware…it doesn't! Also the cross hatching is gone in the cylinders and they are shining. This was driven for 150 miles over a 4 month period. The enormous amount of electrolysis on the head and the loose intake manifold bolts with heat and pressure from normal use caused the intake gasket to leak and let coolant flow. This motor never overheated!!! The junk heads were the cause of this whole thing. Blueprint kept insisting I overheated the motor and that's why the heads warped. This is a high 405 hp engine and you shouldn't be using junk heads waiting to fail.
Blueprint engines crack#
Major signs of electrolysis and multiple pins installed from crack repairs. They started taking apart the motor and discovered that the intake manifold bolts were loose (motor came with the intake) and the heads were old pieces of junk. Ok, either way I had a Chevrolet dealership do the repair work because I didn't know exactly what I was in for. They told me right away that because I installed it myself, they wouldn't cover labor. I bought a Blueprint 383 crate motor for my 1972 Blazer and it hydro locked after 150 miles over a 4 month period. But the point is, forget BBB, the BAR actually has teeth, like a shark and they get results. and see what he says about this." I walked to a phone booth (remember those?) and then returned and the guy threw my money at my feet and said "You no come back here NO MORE!" I sure didn't. Once I had a shop repair a leaking front seal on a Buick 3.8 and it still leaked after the fix and the shop refused to refund my cash payment. Hopefully you documented every communication with them. can and will shut down a shop that does fraudulent work and all of the shops know this. Tl dr version- if they advertised parts as new and they weren't, it is at least fraud. When the case was was settled, he got ALL his money back because of the one fraudulent charge. The shop had charged him for new spark plugs. Put a set of new plugs in it, and it ran great. It also ran really rough, so I pulled a plug to look, and it was obviously old. The shop that rebuilt the engine positioned the lines wrong and one chafed through on the upper a-arm. One time a guy came in with a 442 with leaking transmission lines. If you screw up, your case gets published in their newsletter.
Here in California the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) oversees what shops do.
