I had a tru arc JE piston clip fail on a motor a year ago. At the time I figured it was a fluke. The next motor a year or 2 later same thing diff piston. When I did the first repair another block was readied . JE sent me spiral lock pin clips so in they went. Now the same thing has happened on another one of the original pistons I had installed with the tru arcs. If JE knew of a problem with this clips shouldn't they of sent me a set of piston pin clips to make this motor bullet proof and a customer happy? Since the first problem I've seen one other turbo dodge guy with the same problem.
I guess its just a case of F#ck You I got mine! I've sent JE a letter ...I'll keep the list posted.

rant over.
