If you bought an engine that was toast?

What would you do?
Toss it through their car window?
Fill the combustion chambers with cow feces and gasoline and leave a flaming cow poo block on their front porch?

I bought one off turbols, he said it was mint, when i took it apart the ringlands were blown off on all 4 pistons. Imagine what would have happened if i put a head on it, assembled it and went to start it?
He told me that his parts are sold as is.
He said he would get me another one for cheap.
Would you buy another engine from this guy?
Ya, me neither.
I just wanted my money back, but i guess that ain't happening.
I'll let the guy i bought the engine for take care of this guy i guess.
He's
And loves to

That sucks but the sad thing is nothing can be done. Some people are real @ssholes. Buyer Beware

While i dont think that Zeeman is lying at all....that is just one side of the story. So others should stop bashing this seller....you dont know sh*t.

Lol...this has happened before and if comments fly like this...it will be locked....mods cant do sh*t..its none of their business.

2 examples of poor customer relations is enough for me to not buy anything from him.

wanna see pics of the pistons i pulled out of the engine like 2 hours ago?
I bought this engine from Tom last night. He assured me it was mint, told me some story that he had it at a shop and the head was stolen off of it. But if you ask me, it looks like this engine was boosted to hell. He also told me that if it wasn't mint i could have my money back. I don't treat people like this, so i don't like when people treat me like this.
The only people bashing this seller are the people that have bought garbage parts from him before. I'm pretty sure you'd be pretty pissed if you bought an engine from him that he claimed was mint but really wasn't.
Now, could you imagine if i had put this into my friends car? I bought this engine to go into my buddys car. So now, this makes me look bad, and i'm out $150.
Thanks again Tom (turbols).
I bust my a$$ to earn my money legit and this is what i get?

With all your experience and knowledge about motors Zeeman, I thought you would have inspected the motor inside and out (not literally), but I think you know what I mean.

you must leave some feedback in the buyer/seller feedback section so more ppl can see it....i agree with you overall....what you said plus another's buyer's comments are enough to alert anyone doing business with this guy

Zeeman, from what I know about him on the forums, is an honest and helpful guy with amazing feedback. Turbols is shady, im pretty sure it's safe to trust what zeeman is telling us about this scammer

scammers/thieves should literally be killed and tortured to death.

You and dog should meet up with this guy and cut his arms off with an axe saw and throw him over the niagra falls, kill the ****.

jgreddyturbo, if you kill someone, you won't be able to torture them after. you'll be mutilating a corpse at that point.

but i guess that is where the funs begins for you.

you are sick.

PS: i wish my girlfriend thought like you.
