Re: Stoker: Titan Engine: My Story
Titan just opened up the valve cover to check out what's wrong with my engine that brok in fine, but starting dropping oil pressure at idle after less than a minute of start up.
Took them 15 days just to do that (putting it on the backburner in between jobs).. which seems fitting since at first it ran just fine during the break in procedure. Upon driving to my house 5 miles away though the engine started acting up and there was no power or constant oil pressure.
Turns out rocker #3 "isn't acting right." I've had two very qualified automechanics tell me at this point that it's on them in the particular area of valve-train failure.
They will hold out to their end of the bargain and get it running, or I'll have an ASE certified mechanic pull it apart and get the facts straight at its current condition; upon which I will be taking them to court and they'll pay for the labor to get it straightened out since they couldn't.
Don't ever buy from Titan. It's 2 years later from this guy's horror story and they F'ed mine up to. Is there ANYONE who's bought anything working from Titan? Every time I think about how Chuck Manis has talked about the strokers they've build (and a 5.0 that is actually still running around somewhere) and how he says it can't possibly be something on their end that's messed up because of how often they do it... yet all I see is F'ed up Jeep Strokers from them online from everyone else who's dealt with them.
Or maybe everyone who's ever gotten a working stroker from them hasn't been introduced to the internet... or just doesn't frequent jeep enthusiast sites. But that can't be... anyone who knows what a stroker is has to be on a Jeep site. And every time I search for Jeep and Stroker, I end up back here. Hmm..
