I am about a nice and easy going as it gets but i think i have come to my limits . I need a new machine shop i have had it man. I want name names but i have given this machine shop tones of heads ,blocks and cranks what ever they need never charged them for nothing . He agreed to sleeve my block for free . I dropped it off a year and a half ago lol. I havnt been in a real big hurry and i ended up getting another sleeved block so it wasnt a rush to get it but still non the less he owes it to me. At first the sleeves would be nothing to get then they became a problem long story short he wasnt getting paid so he made no effort to find any . One day he just up and calls and ask for a 50mm h22 crank and im like why do you need that . he says well ive had a h22 55mm main block for six months supposed to fix it and didnt so i gave him the block i had up here and its a 50mm block so i need a crank for the guy (no telling what he is charging this poor guy). I asked you didnt give him my block that you were suppose to sleeve did you? Oh no its one i had up here . I said im telling you my block better be there when i get there . Guys i have thiry blocks that i could use for sleeving but thats not the point. Everytime he needs something its an emergency and i do what i can to help. I get up there and my block is still there but he states the guy hasnt picked it up yet becuase he is waiting on him to get the crank . So finaly i kinda get ill and im like man thats my block to start off with not yours and when are you going to damn sleeve it. Im ready to build my motor this shit is rediculous . Of course it will be done next week that was four months ago lol. I found a guy on honda tech with some golden eagle sleeves that let me get them for 100 dollars shipped so im thinking hell for 100 dollars it will be worth getting them so the damn machine shop can atleast do the work . Well they put them in and it looks great but they have to trim for were the rods go (something that takes a hour) and thats been a month ago lol. When i ask its well you know its a freebe and i got to get these paying customers out first . hell i could have scrapped the freaken aluminum and bought a damn sleevd block for the shit ive given them. Honestly i have a sleeved block that was a spare so i realy didnt care . I also decided to go with a 55mm main block so i gave him the 50mm main block that he had already practicaly stol anyway lol. He is beggin for the crank because the other guy is pissed and im like get my block done ill bring it to you (but its a freebe). So now i dropp my head off just to be cleaned and my other sleeved block to get bored to 88mm last friday. His exact words were this is something i dont have to do so it will be done by tuesday . Tuesday i send a timing cover to get welded up and he tells the guy i sent up there to tell me i can pick my stuff up . So i go by there today he isnt there and my freaking head and neither of my damn blocks have moved . I mean realy dude whats the fraking problem is it that ive been to nice i think so . So tomorrow im not going to be so nice and im going to pick up both my sleevd blocks , my head and my other freaking block and he can figure out how to make the other guy happy that he has been stringing along .
Im telling you guys everytime i try to be understanding and realy nice because hell none of this is that important to me anyways shit like this is what happens . if your to nice you get taken advantage of its a proven fact lol. Everybody that i have beat the shit out of i tried realy nicely to just let it go and be friends but that shows weakness and makes people push harder and try to bullie even more . It sucks that you cant just be a realy nice guy this day and time it realy does guys.
