Yeah thats exactly right. You bought a used engine, had it for over a year, had some crackpot machine shop tear it down and tell you a bunch of garbage so they could score a rebuild and wanted me to pay for it.
anyway to the top for a 9 second block!
Not exactly right.
I did have it over a year that part is correct but that was due to having the car painted and other work at the time i purchased the shortblock from you.
The shortblock was not touched once i received it from you for that period of time, back then i thought i could trust a member of this board not to sell something different than what they advertised it to be.that was my mistake.
The shortblock was disassembled by a reputable machine shop in my area and i was there when the work was done, so it wasn't just them telling me a bunch of garbage.
Yeah, i bought a used shortblock from you that you said was good and sold for $1000.00 that was worth maybe $250.00 since the crankshaft and 3 rods were in good condition. I didn't expect you to pay for the work done but i did expect you to be a stand up person and do the right thing and maybe refund the balance of the $1000.00 minus the $250.00 that it was actually worth.
Anyway you look at it the shortblock didn't get that damage from just sitting in my garage for the year before i was ready to install it, which i thought was all i needed to do according to how you advertised it in the thread you posted,and the link to that thread is in my reply above in my first reply to this thread.
So Mr. Anderson instead of bashing people you don't know maybe you should be a little more honest when you place an ad for something you are selling so that someone like myself doesn't get misled into thinking it's something that it's not.
If i didn't think i could have trusted you i would have had the shortblock inspected immediately when it arrived here and not waited until i was ready to install it.
Here is the link again to the ad you posted for that shortblock, maybe i missed where it said that it needed some repair to the camshaft thrust area on the front of the block and that it had a blown head gasket or some other problem that seeped ant-freeze into the crankcase and leaving residue on the crankshaft and on the sides of the inside of the crankcase.
