ALERT Spares PTA Refuses to replace faulty CAM!

I took my Opel's head to be rebuilt at a reputable engineering company, They basically took the aluminum head and replaced all the inner parts.

These inner parts where supp**** by Alert Spares in Pretoria. After having the head assembled and prepared by the engineer I fitted the head to the car NEW oil filter NEW Shell Rimula oil.

Before I closed the tappet cover I filled the engine with oil by poring the oil over the cam. The cam was also packed with cam grease by the engineer. After a couple of turns the motor started with a hell of a noise from the cylinder head. It ran for less than 2 min. (I hadn't even filled the water bottle)

After consulting the engineer I removed the tappet cover to see if the cam is getting oil. It was so much so that it spilled out of the cam box. Then I SAW that one of the lobes on the cam was damaged.

The engineer called Sabastian at Alert and asked them to come and see what had happened. They drew the dipstick and smelt a slight sent of petrol. They said the "Petrol" in the oil has thinned the oil and that caused to ONE lobe to get damage.

They refuse to replace the cam. They still made a JOKE and said they will arrange for a R2-00 discount on the new purchase of a cam!

I feel this is TOTAL unacceptable. Anyone with a little commonsense will know that this could NOT be the cause of the cam being damaged!

The cost of this repair is close to R1500-00 I feel they need to replace all parts necessary to complete the project including oil and oil filter!
