[87gninpa]

[FastRegalWE2]

RUSS MERRIT HAS A NICE SET-UP READY TO INSTALL, THE HIGH VOLUME COVERS FROM E-BAY THAT ARE IN A WHITE BOX, PARTICULARY FROM E-BAY USER BADBUICK ARE JUNK AND HAVE A CASTING FLAW!!!! THERE IS PAPER THIN METAL AROUND UPPER OIL PUMP HOUSING BOLTS, AND IT WILL LEAK NO MATTER WHAT!!
YOU CAN CALL PAT AT PRECISION,AND HE WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT!!! BE CAREFUL, HATE TO SEE YOU HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN

IF ITS A GM COVER LIKE STATED IN HIS AUCTION, THAN THATS A STEEL AND WAY TO GO. ASK HIM HOW MUCH FOR THE HI VOLUME OIL PUMP KIT, SHOULD BE ABOUT $40
GOOD LUCK

THEY ARE NOT ALL SOLD BY THAT GUY AND ARE NOT THE SAME THING

 

[TURBOGTA1]

THATS WHY I PUT THE E-BAY USER'S NAME (BADBUICK)
HE IS SELLING THE JUNK ONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FastRegalWE2]

damn him

 

[TURBOGTA1]

YEAH, TELL ME ABOUT IT!!! I LEARNED THE HARD WAY, AND WHEN I GOT IN TOUCH WITH HIM, HE DIDNT WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT!! HIS PHRASE WAS (all sales final) I TOLD HIM I BETTER NOT EVER BUMP INTO HIM, OR I WOULD CRACK THE TIMING COVER OVER HIS HEAD

ONCE AGAIN, E-BAY STRIKE'S AGAIN!!!!!!
WHERES CYRUS THE VIRUS WHEN YOU NEED HIM

 

[87gninpa]
