I got these all of four weeks and four days ago......
Billet "caps" for everything, but the oil cap itself was a complete replacement. Guess which one found it's way from my car?
My wife has had the car all week, so I have no idea when it exited the car. The only reason i even noticed was the smoke/oil burning smell from the car tonight while on our way to and from a concert.
Got them all from AM. I'm really weary of what to do here, and I didn't keep my stock cap, so the car is basically undriveable till i walk down the road or take a cab to the dealership so I can buy a new stock cap.
This kinda pisses me off in a major way since I had sworn off buying anything from American Muscle ever again because of a terribly bad multi-episodic bad experience that drove me to use LMR or CJPP. As a goodwill/gesture to get me to be a customer again, AM (Alex) sent me these billet caps for everything. oil, dipstick brake fluid, washer fluid, coolant, along with a good discount on a Mishimoto coolant tank.
Well shit. I hope something can be done about this, but I have a feeling it's karma biting me in the ass.
Everything is positively soaked in oil and it's a LOT OF OIL no telling how many quarts i'm down or if damage was done to the car. I am praying that the engine isn't toast. after i noticed this, i got home quickly as possible with as little revs as possible to toss more oil out. So much oil everywhere, that I'm sure going to buy stock in engine degreaser.
I am trying my best to not be livid. I can't drive it until the oil is cleaned up. I can't clean it up until i get a new cap on it. This means I'm going to have to order a new cap from the dealership, and then think quite hard about getting a replacement billet cap from AM.
So clearly my wife isn't getting to work tomorrow and will have to telecommute. Thankfully I don't work anymore because I have leukemia and chemotherapy kicks my ass.
/sigh
