Just wondering why would a person promise something to some one, and then not keep thier word?
I mean really, is $300 bucks that important?
I am not going to call out any names here in the WL, that would just be rude.
but god damn, I am going to stop buying parts from people, because all the parts I buy seem to be garbage.
I bought a y8 from some korean fool that ended up having bad rings.
then I bought a b16 trans thats no good as well.
**** thats almost a grand down the f u c k i n g drain.
Shame on all the people who go knowingly ripping people off.

Yeah, I bought an exhaust from some kid earlier this year.
I saw it at night, and he "neglected" to tell me that the inside of the canister was rusted out. I didn't know any better, so I didn't look inside.
I guess I should have noticed the first clue: meeting up on Buford Highway.

I understand. If I sell anything, I make sure it works properly and would def. not try and screw anyone over. If you need a good experience buy my wireless adapter and it will make you feel better. /Shameless plug

minime wasnt the plan at all...... i just get distracted easily....
im not gonna get it right now. but ill get it if youve still got it in a month or so....
i think your best bet would be to pull the pistons and put new rings on it. why waste it if thats the only problem??? id use it
and whats wrong with the trans?

I have nothing but great buys from here. I bought everything from a car down to $15 window switches, and have no regrets. Know what you're buying, what it's worth and who you're buying it from. I was going to buy some Volks (from someone I had never seen before, yes I broke my own rule) the other day until, the guy gave me a price and said "plus shipping". WTF? You think I'm going to give you money and hope you send me what I bought sight unseen? Don't think so.

sold the trans a little while ago, but I do have another tranny that needs some minor builds.
I am probably gonna try to put new rings in it, but I have never done any motor work before so I am a little unsure of myself.
best I can do is change a headgasket.

take the head off, take off the oil pan, unbolt the rod bolts, remove pistons, check for damage, put on rings, install pistons with ring compressor, bolt everything back up, start engine...... simple enough i guess
