    OP dont agree with any "burn down" or "new tool" threats as you can still take him to court and get more than your money back small claims is good up to like 5000 i think

    But yet when you DO sponsor here and someone has a bad experience, you still cannot call them out. So basically what you are indirectly doing is protected any shops name, because sponsor or not you can not post a bad experience with them.

    He still owes me my camshafts as well that he forgot to bring to the deal. He owns a shop at 32 shorter ind. blvd in Rome GA

    anyone from there know what shop that is?
    I don't know what shop it is but Im not too far from rome. I could check it out for you if you wanted??

    If you don't like it, go away. You're not forced to remain here.

    What you don't know, but talk about as if you do, will make you look foolish. Later, QD.

    Dude....you owe him his money back. THat is fucked up. No way that engine wasn't running like damnit. No way at all. I am a female, and I even know better than that. Plus that wasnt a "deal." That is a normal price for a GOOD motor. WHy not save yourself some trouble and just do the right thing?
    Woah now, I've had many dealings with people in rome and on this board...from small parts to building engines for locals and people on this board. Not all of rome is lame, just the other 99% LOL

    Take this engine back to the shop and demand compensation...thats what i would do. This is a terrible way to treat a buyer of something so expensive, that swap with good rings would go for what...1800$?

    Now you have to get rods and a crank, probably some block work on the sleeves and an oil pump from metal intake. You've probably got a MINIMUM of 600$ to get all of that made right so it will run again.

    With this kind of transaction, you would have a right to sue in small claims court, and probably a pretty good chance of winning.
