Ron,
If you did an install for a customer, and several Swagelok fittings failed, (a fitting you've installed & tightened a million times) and the customer & Swagelok both said the failure was your fault, how would you feel?
I'd be a bit put off myself.
I've tightened a zillion jam nuts in my life, never used a torque wrench on one of them, never had a failure either. I'm sure MME has tightened a zillion lock nuts on Jesel rockers too. For a rocker arm manufacturer to blame the mechanic for their broken rocker arms is ludicrous. Absolutely, flippin' ludicrous.
Mel Goldenberg offered to examine the failed rockers to determine why they are failing, but Jesel said they would only replace them if they were NOT examined. I don't think Jesel is innocent.
