@@spurs079 hold on a second the man’s not got the money to pay yet gave the go ahead to fit new parts meaning 4500 in to it in parts 1500 labour maybe more and another 2k maybe that was missed had an engine been completed and paid for so barum now 8k worse off untill bills paid how’s that fair? u wouldn’t lend someone 8k intrest free and if someone is slow to pay or just being difficult well look it’s just costing him more for not being honest. Can almost guarantee he wouldn’t be putting a charge on a complete engine that’s been paid for just struggling to be collected it’s a principal tax if anything and a warning to others who want to try the same type of behaviour barum still has bills to pay remember that promises don’t pay them
I agree if the customer turns up and pays in full by bacs then I wouldn't charge storage, technically the engine it's Barums to sell ,the parts they've put on are ,bit of a sticky wicket that one
You would freak out if you opened up one of my old Buick 463ci (455) big block engines. Heavy iron, big clearances, big compression, & low tech. Used for mostly dirt circle track racing they were designed for extended high temperature operation without seizing.
Love all the cossie stuff Lee. When a customer says it was all done years ago to a high standard?? How do they take it when the phone is answered and you say it needs another proper rebuild?
@@robertdoyle4098Asking for a credit card, gives the customer a way to pay for the work. If the customer chokes on providing any credit card info, then you pretty much know that you are never going to get paid.
Pity you cannot have before and after engine running videos. I imagine the "all done" will be a good demonstration of your specialist skills and expertise warranting feedback but the fuelling will need to be done more competently otherwise another compromised engine imminent. You should be specific on documentation of the running in oils demanded as well.
you wouldn’t have “unmetered air” with a speed density ecu such as the cossie, you only get unmetered air if you have an airflow meter. However, you would have a vacuum leak off-boost and a boost leak on boost though.
Daily charge all good if stated at beginning of the job but just deciding to put it on is probably not helping the situation it's probably making it impossible for him to get the funds together and to be honest that's the way loan sharks operate I can guarantee it's illegal to just demand further charges and it could come back and bite you. From day one yes put it on the wall in writing and on paper work. He could take you to court saying you are making it impossible for him to pay as the additional charges are like the engine is being held to ransom re think give him a week to get the original amount together then start the daily charge once it's in writing with his signature on it. He is allso hurting your business by not paying you so very frustrating but at least you have a asset he needs to collect or signed it over to you nothing verbally.
That engine that's not been pick up. Send a letter, stating that if it not collected within 28 days and invoice settled, your consider the engine to be abandoned, and you will sell it to recover your losses
As the Range Rover engine costs increase, I wonder if the owner is still focused on trying to get warranty and doesn’t plan to pay for it at all. False economy I suppose. I wonder if he thinks as soon as he does pay, the dealer will wipe his hands of the claim.
The customer should be paying up front for the parts being ordered. If they do not have the money together for parts, then they should not be dropping off the engine until they do. If they can pay for the parts then only the labour cost is at risk and as you can sometimes sit on your arse with no work and zero chance of being paid anything at all for that time, it can sometimes make sense to do the work in hope of being paid for it. If however you are busy, then book a time when the customer can pay for it all up front because doing unpaid work ahead of paid work is a sure way to go out of business. Remember it is "Barum Engines" not "Barum Bank of Automotive Finance" so leave the lending to banks.
@@ataxpayer723 You cannot simply sell an engine that does not legally belong to you - by simply including such a statement in the 'terms & conditions' of a contract. There is a somewhat lengthy legal process that must be followed to achieve the outcome that you describe.

The Australian based 'Peter Jackson' racing Sierra Cosworth used a Garrett modified M24 turbocharger with a large intercooler where the turbo was set to 2.4 bar, ie. circa 35 PSI, of boost, noting that the engine was built with 6.2 to 1 compression ratio. The engine generated circa 580 bhp and 500 ft lb torque. Needless to say the turbo lag was significant and the enourmous power came on at around 6500 rpm in a 'switch like fashion' which race drivers found difficult to deal with - a situation that caused significant tyre wear.
The timing was adjusted to try to solve the air leak that been caused by badly fitting he inlet manifold, an obvious mistake by someone who didn't know how to build the engine correctly and then unable to diagnose the root cause of the lumpy idle.
Business is business, however I think that’s way to steep for someone who’s spent thousands of pounds with the shop. I would get it if the customer rejected a quote and the engine just sat there. That’s my angle on it. Not saying I’m right, just voicing my opinion. No one knows the customer’s circumstances. Lee is there to make money but no need to be so harsh. Just let the customer pay the engine bill and be on his way.
Thing is the only person that's spent money on that engine is lee. He wants paying and the engine gone. The storage fee is fair tbh as the customer is taking the piss.
@@TheDjsmurph taking the piss? Or a genuine issue? Can’t make judgment without knowing the full story mate. That’s why society is the way it is because everyone seems to know it all. Not to mention the GREED! Lee is becoming as bad as the car removal storage compounds😂
@spurs079 Lee has stated in terms as per previous videos storage is charged after a grace period, it was after years of people not collecting engines and not paying their bills which amounted to tens of thousands of pounds and a cluttered workshop. Its good business sense not greed, you obviously have never run a business and been owed 30k.
@@Phuc_Yhou outstanding bills are a pain I agree, obviously you’ve never had a money issue when it has come to settling up an expensive bill months down the line. Things happen, that’s life. A bit of compassion due the fact the customer has spent thousands. But then what would I expect from someone with the username @Phuc_Yhou. That says it all🤔
Another one of life's lessons. The more expensive the car, the harder to get any money out of em.
As ruthless as the Dailey charge sounds it’s a brilliant idea
I’m not sure especially when someone is spending thousands.

Seems that some of these engines are built by forum experts and there’s plenty of them👍
Guys, always get money up front for parts, before you buy the parts in….
Albindunn engine. Love it.
Another option is to get a bank card terminal, then ask the customer, “how would like to pay, by Visa or Mastercard?”
@@ataxpayer723 why wouldn’t he already have a card terminal the man has no money so I’m assuming no credit either think about it

“Its all been done, to a very poor standard”
Lumpy on idle, could be the result of a high lift cam/s
Its the air entering the gap in the inlet manifold to head that is not adjusted by the maf/ecu

Charging for storage is the correct thing to do but the customer should know that up front and it should be represented on the work order, yes?
How about paying bills ….. storage shouldn’t even be in the conversation
Give the customer 10 days to pay and collect, then sell the engine to defray costs. Add this to your Terms

You keep talking about these engines making 500 HP, what kind of boost do they run? 20 PSI?
The Australian based 'Peter Jackson' racing Sierra Cosworth used a Garrett modified M24 turbocharger with a large intercooler where the turbo was set to 2.4 bar, ie. circa 35 PSI, of boost, noting that the engine was built with 6.2 to 1 compression ratio.

Needless to say the turbo lag was significant and the enourmous power came on at around 6500 rpm in a 'switch like fashion' which race drivers found difficult to deal with - a situation that caused significant tyre wear.
Could the timing suggest it was set up for race fuel?
The timing was adjusted to try to solve the air leak that been caused by badly fitting he inlet manifold, an obvious mistake by someone who didn't know how to build the engine correctly and then unable to diagnose the root cause of the lumpy idle.
