buck that....Ive made plenty of mistakes he should learn to check it b4 you buy it. and the mraning of as is...
Exactly! The guy (93mustank) as much as admitted to checking the cam bearings and inspecting the cylinder walls before buying. It is Guero's fault that the guy chose not to pull one of the mains and inspect the rest of the bottom end while he was down there?
And let’s be honest....for a total investment of what, $300 ($200 cash and trade for his exhaust), he still got a pretty good deal whether the engine ran or not. Lets be realistic here, $300 wouldn't even cover the cost of a bare block in most cases now a days, never mind one that was delivered to the door with a fresh bore and new pistons?!?
This guy just needs to suck it up, install a new crank and chalk this one up to poor planning and/or inspection on his part. If he’s that hurting for cash, that he’s quibbling over a measly $400, he should just park the car and take the bus! I mean.....come on.....Christ, my car cost me $100 every time I turn a wrench!
*AFTER READING THE THREAD FURTHER*
You need to stop being nice to this guy and tell him to talk a walk.
azvforce is %100 correct in his assessment on the situation in posts #39 and #41 and because this guy (93mustank) doesn't like what he hears, he's completely dismissing his remakes and basically calling him an ******* for making them. He asks for comments and opinions, but is only interested in hearing the ones that benefit his side of the arguement.
I say tell him he needs to quit contacting you and slandering your rep or you'll be forced to take legal action.
You can feel free to cut and past my remarks into that thread as well if you'd like! I'd be interested in hearing his response (although I'm already pretty sure I know what it's going to be).
