What did NOS say about the bad Nozzles. I see you said they were sending you new ones but what did the say about the problem. By the way are you going to Huntsville this weekend and are you planning on racing. Just wondering Ken

Hey Ken....I called NOS,got tech on the phone,i explained to hom my problem,what had been happening for 2 seasons...3 engines later...he replied,send me the nozzles and i'll replace them....i told him i needed them this week,he said theyed leave today...i was surprised,he took my word for it ,he didnt even have to have my nozzles to inspect before he sent me new ones...that proves they know they have a problem...he didnt even hesitate to replace them!!!!Even more,i asked if there was a gaurantee that the new ones wouldnt leak...he said they are all tested in house before they leave now individually under flow conditions...1000 plus psi...i also asked if they had changed the design on the nozzles since they had problems...he said no!!?? They are still built the same way,just tested before they leave...i didnt like that,....so i asked if they made a nozzle that didnt have the straw(tube) in it...he said yes,the stainless steel nozzles are built different,they dont have a tube that has to seal up...it has a threaded plug inside to seperate the chambers internally?  ?? Didnt quite understand that,but said,thats what i want,i want something different..he said that the soft plume was more expensive,i responded,not more that 3 engines....he got my point,...he said they would be shipped to me at no charge...i was nice,,and said,thats the least uyou could do.....HOPEFULLY,THIS IS IT...I THINK IT IS.....I took apart all 16 nozzles before i sent them back....15 of them showed signs of leaking back and pressuring the fuel chamber of the nozzle..only 1 showed to have a positive seal!!!!!!! BROKE a$$ Tony!!?? |

Thanks for the articles above...i had 1 of them,but not both...i think this should be posted on every board known that has anything to do with drag racing....this is absolutely a bad thing for anyone to have to go through....it will really get to you after a while and really make you second guess (youfself) when the blame is on a reputable company that u know and trust and pay big money to believe in to put a good product on the market.......I'm thankful to have good friends that helped me to solve this situation...and always remember.what comes around goes around....i wont forget the good help or the bad either.....Tony
