[Sol1d]

hi, 

 

i also bought an engine from the guy;

 

the engine is missing 

 

the duplex vernier timing chain gears (  fitted with standard)

kent 247i camshaft ( fitted with standard)

uprated 4pin diff (  fitted with standard)

 

the gearbox is not proper rebuild the central oil pick up pipe is attached with a plastic tyrap instead of bolt and nut the gearbox is not propper rebuild, there is still old oil and metal on the bodem  the cilinder block is not proper rebuild the cilinder holes are not exact 73.5 but ( 73,35 to 37,45) so they wil not proper move and wil brake after a couple of miles. 

 

 

i just bought a piece of scrap metal with new paint on

Can you make a pay pal claim?

[leeuk]

Welcome to the forum sol1d its just a shame its under these circumstances.

This seller is getting beyond a joke with his overpriced blocks of scrap, A pm is on its way

I hope you manage to get your money back, Have you not had any response from the seller at all ?

Please come back and let us know how you get on.

I don't think it is to be honest mate as although they have the same name the one that sells the engines is from Bradford and the chap in the link is said to be from Sheffield. 

He did have engines up for sale on ebay a few weeks ago, He has even resorted to offering monthly instalments !! 

[wile e coyote]

Ah that's a shame thought possibly that karma had caught up

[mad mk1]

If you look at his pics it's the same block on both engines lol.

[gazza82]

[jonlad]

Thanks for resurrecting this one gazza, I'd been looking at those engines thinking I'd like one!
