Installing piston rings the wrong way

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I get this more often than I’d like, please be VERY careful with installing your pistons! Take your time, if you have to force anything it’s incorrect. We can’t replace cylinders if you damage it from improper installation.

    This is what happens when you deal with the general public. This is what also keeps a lot of sellers off ebay. I was also going to say that you could do a video showing how to install a kit and try to idiot proof it but there's always some idiot out there who will "outsmart" you.

    If I venture out to do something I haven’t done I always use something that’s already toast now this is a pretty basic tasks but hard to believe someone tries to say a cylinder shows up beat to hell like that. It’s pretty easy to be like hey man I messed up can I order a new kit

    Yea unfortunately there are a lot of people out there, that I that I feel amazon has made them feel it’s ok to break things and expect us to pay for it. We’re a very small shop and we can’t absorb things like that of course. Nor is it right ethically

    What seems quite off is that the Piston itself does not look like it fits inside that cylinder... I get the point of the video and I get that people do this but why does it look like the Piston isn't even mean for that cylinder 😂, it could just be me that thinks that but🤷🏽‍♂️ it seems off.

    Although it may cost you in the end. This is not good customer service. Your essentially calling your customers out. “The scenario in dealing with right now with a customer” here is the truth. It’s your word Against theirs. For business it’s better to eat some shit sometime.

    Sorry but we can’t be warrantying items customers break. This is a daily occurrence. And it’s simple math. In my ten years of selling thousands of kits I’ve never once seen rings come broken. Ever. So when they call, odds are they’re embarrassed and don’t want to admit it. Amazon made people believe they can get new items when they make mistakes but that doesn’t keep businesses open. We also get hit with about $10k a year with people filing false chargebacks and using stolen cards.. We “eat shit” every week :) We’re literally known for the best customer service. There’s no USA shops with an app with messaging, we have the most flexible return policy. We have an actual phone we pick up, and also do KZread videos non stop with free content and tutorials.
