Any ya folks ever buy a new doa motor, just bought the 150 hp motor & a used distributor from doa, got it in & installed, dist was bent & it chewed up cam gear & dist, called him & lefts many msgs & he would not call me back or try n help. Finally he answer & email & said he don't answer calls whens he's buisy , n said i didnt lube it enough & its my fault. I ordered anuther else where & installed it dry & it works fine. Was quoted 300$ freight for all w/core return. Then they hit my ccard 4 nuther 30$ freight & 110$ crate fee which will get used nother 50 times. Call'd um gin many times saying i'd like to talk about matters. Finally he answers an email saying stop by his shop in nc & we'll talk. Now he's saying its my responsibilty to get the core back, looks like another charge that was not in the original quote, anyone ever go thru this & know how to deal with this. Acting like cuz he's across the states he can just hammer ya.

 

I'm interested in reading about this motor! Someone please translate it to English for me, please!

 

what you cant read??

he is saying that doa screwed him over, and wants to know if anybody has any ideas on how to deal with it.

to the op, did you tell him that the dizzy he sent you was junk?
and thats why the motor is messed up?

 

Moi, je detest quand un companie n'honor pas son produit. C'est clairement la faute due assembleur.

 

le doa suce !

 

Please, no frog speak. Speak in either english, engrish, or hillbilly/redneck!!!! Thank you for your cooperation, and please drive thru!


J/K

 

sorry to hear that bro..now I know what doa stands for... Dead on Arrival!!

 

ya they have cool ads in maginzes.. thats about it... iv only heard bad things about there service and motors ... but i have a hook up through a local shop, so i might be biased.

 

BRNRFF.... tell you what.. do a search on DOA and you will see tons of posts of pissed off YT members

 

niiiiiice

 

ya bable fish works pretty good

 

Come Everybody knows that DOA makes some precision equipment, Headbolts are never supposed to be the same length

 

That's why they call it Dead On Arrival

 

DOA sucks, should've gone with LC Engineering

 

I can't believe he is still in business you would think from all the negative post on all the different boards he would be hurting and the law suites would have bankrupted him , to the o.p. sorry to hear you are yet another victim of this unscrupulous business , maybe next time you will do some more home work and research before making a bad and costly decision like that again.

 

No kidding, in the limited time I have spent on this board in the past few years I have read nothing but negative posts about that guy at DOA
The owner sounds like a real d**k!

 

pheww glad I saw this thread. I hadn't seen any negative press for DOA in my short time here.

 

thus why I built my OWN motor...

take the guess work out of the quality

well, that is so long as you get quality parts from good sources for the rebuild, lol

 

I hear you I got about 142-145 hp out of mine and only $1400 into it

 

D.O.A.
