The very one from E-bay. Thanks for all your help. Finally got ahold the seller and he is standing by the car, knows nothing aobut any kind of bent rod and is going to call the shop that beuilt the engine to see if maybe they know. Said it was running "fine", sounded loud with the exhaust but...

Well, it has a new timing chain and hv oil pump. The valve is the same height as all the other ones, so that looks alright. Doesn't that usually happen with timing chain breakage too? And the coolant is still flowing in under pressure. The guy DOES owe me an answer because he was supposed to...

I just got back from KDK Performance. He is not trying to just get a rebuild out of me. You can ask around about them. He showed me the pushrod (I have it now), showed me the difference between it and the other 5, showed me the lack of wear that showed that it had just been replaced. Let me look...

Bought it from Hollis, Maine from a couple Robert (Bob) and Erika.

Well, I didnt drive it down from Maine. I had it shipped. I drove it from the terminal to my house, then from my house to KDK performance. As far as punching it and getting on it, no, i really didnt because the only gauge it has is a boost gauge and I didnt have a scanmaster. Kinda worried about...

No, I didnt. Bought it out of state. I got them to get an appraisal and it was by a certified appraiser and all. I kinda just thought there was no way he could just lie straight up about it. He told the appraiser the same thing (I am not sure what kind of appraisal it was). I know I screwed up...

Hello Alan. I took it over to KDK on Tuesday....got bad news today. Bent pushrod on number one and it looks like it has been done before because the pushrod is numbered completely differently than the rest. You can see my new post in General Tech "First car....first fraud." Thanks for your help...

I emailed the seller on Tuesday just to ask where the recipets were and who did the motor work, and also to ask about the white smoking. He called and left a message, but did not write back. I called him and got no answer. I wrote another email tonight with Kevin King's finding and still nothing...

I just bought a T-Type from Maine. Basically, paint and body described as "B" and engine and mechanics as perfect with fresh rebuild, fresh head job, TE-60, etc., 76k original miles. Good buy in my book. Appraised at 8-10k and got for much less. Got it Monday with an exhaust that rusted off on...

Do you think it would be a turbo? It only smokes at idle, wouldnt a turbo do it at speed too? I didnt even race, thats why I felt like a moron. I was in the turning lane. Just couldnt let it go though-atleast I was open dump and he was on my right. I won the battle of decibels haha. Oh well...

Well, started her up the next morning, no smoke at all after idling for a couple minutes. Later that day, started her up, warmed her, and drove around lightly for aobut 8 minutes. Then drove it to Orlando to KDK to get it in to them. No smoke (exhaust rusted off so I had to ride with an open...
