Keep in mind that if you paid via credit card and the place of business is not willing to work with you, you can get the credit card company involved and the business will be more likely to help you. Did this only once years ago at Simpicity lawn tractor dealer. Asked them to do a complete rebuild on my tractor engine. I put my rebuilt on the tractor, had an instant rod knock, they said I stressed the 2" crank bearing when tightening the alt belt and caused a rod knock - impossible I told them. This went on the whole summer. The credit card company contacted Briggs and Stratton and they too said it was impossible for me to have damaged a bearing by tightening the belt causing a rod knock. Briggs and Stratton stepped in, made the Simplicity dealer install a brand new engine and I still only paid the initial rebuild cost.
