Care to clarify that statement? I for one would like to know. PM if you'd rather not post it. Thanks
Exactly^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Now for that info to be "censored", that's just wrong!
That's not it.
The thread I'm referring to had a long post with January 19, 2013 post from Indy Dan setting the record straight on connecting rod sources and other stuff

All the same info about PAR is listed on his ebay store if you want to read.

a little more honor and repsonsibility for one's self and actions would find us all in better way

I have used both as well, I have bought more from Brad over the years, but I think this will ultimately cost Brad and PAR far more than the cost of 200 sets of cheap Taiwanese rods. Even at $200 a set wholesale price that's only $40,000. It will do far more damage to his reputation than that in short order. He should have cut his losses and thrown them away or sold them on Ebay to some other small knock off shop. PAR / Brad still has a chance of proving their quality also, he just should have done that before putting them up for sale to the general public. Even the stock Polaris rods deform from even a slight detonation. So I personally do not want to be the guinea pig for some un-proven un-tested parts. I will be sending the crank that Brad long rodded for me to Indydan to work his magic and re-rod it with proven quality parts. Damn expensive lesson, living in Alaska and paying shipping both ways twice for nothing, not to mention the cost of the re-work.
I will not be giving Brad any future crank work business. With Brad providing parts for a lot of other shops is also deeply saddening, FTX uses Brad's billet crankcase which is a work of art for their billet polaris based top ends and would also bet they got the cranks from Brad also. Scary the reifications of one decision to use questionable parts.
Brad/PAR
I have nothing against Brad. Like i say Im running parts from him now and happy. I hope he steps up to the plate. Something like a warranty maybe. If they fail make it right. I would hate to have a busness ruined on word of mouth. Its to tough out there these days.

Ouch! Hey that hurt...what'd I do???
We built ONE custom engine based of the billet bottom end last year...We have not personally tested the other crank products released by PAR and as always, we will never sell anything to the public unless we've used it ourselves-that's been our shops MO from the beginning and it will never change since that's why we have happy customers!
Please do not include my shop in this discussion...it kinda hurts my feelings

I deleted Indy Dan's Post... And talked to both Dan and Brad on the phone (yesterday)
Both have agreed not to air their "personal laundry" on the forums here.
It was deleted for a reason... There are no personal or business attacks allowed on here... plain and simple.
There seems to be a deterioration of the relationship between Dan and Brad... and that is between the two of them.
Both Dan and Brad are friends of mine. I've stayed with Dan at his home. And have visited with Brad as well at his home. Which makes this personally very difficult for me to watch happen.
Both parties build high quality parts in my experience... I have installed/used parts from both people and I have been very happy with the results.
I currently have a motor with Dan Turen and really look forward to running it.
"Cheap Taiwanese" connecting rods...C'mon man... do you have any personal experience with QC on these rods or any real information to share with us??
Your rods WERE made in Taiwan, I'm told by Brad... by the same company that makes OEM rods for Arctic Cat and Carillo. You bought your parts for a reason... IMO... you should trust your first instinct OR if you don't trust it ... do as you say and send the Crankshaft to Indy Specialty to have the work done if that is your preference.
The last thing we need to see on here is another "Battle of the Cheerleaders".
I will delete any Cut & Pastes or quotes of this from ebay or other sources.
Most of you know me and know that I work very hard to keep an even keel and not over-moderate these forums. I VERY rarely delete a thread... and can count the amount of times on my hand that I've done that.
Also... you all need to understand that ALL of the moderators Volunteer their time on here
All this talk of censorship is starting to get old as well.
Simply put, you cannot come on this forum and start a feud.
I don't need to watch a cheerleading match on here to enjoy this forum.... Do you???
Dan told me that he understands what and why... If that is good enough for him... It should be good enough for you too.
