Looks like Thomas18 is now refusing to refund.

From a PM:

"I jsut talked with my mechanic. He said the head should still run fine after the cracked is fixed. In fact, the head had been running in my car for a year. I had no problem with it. at this point, since the head could still run fine after cracked is fixed, i would not accept return."

Sorry bud. This head is not still usable. You need a better mechanic, and I need my money back.

 

OP should refund and be glad that he's not banned. This is CR style crap.

 

Did you pay with paypal? File a claim asap. Hopefully you didn't send money as a gift. This is ridiculous and is totally unacceptable. He probably didn't know about it considering the way he puts stuff together on his own car, but that is total crap. I hope you get it sorted out

 

Buyer needs to eat all. I've been on both sides of the fence. I've had to eat a few NIB items. It hurts, but its better then being seen as a dead beat seller.

 

Damn, that sucks. One of the reasons that I only deal with people that have been around for a bit and have positive feedback.

There's no way that any mechanic could say that head was good.

 

lol at refusing a refund. file claim with paypal ASAP.

 

The Paypal dispute has been filed. The seller originally wanted me to setup as a gift, but I didn't feel comfortable without any protection. Luckily, I paid the extra 3% Paypal fees and hopefully have some recourse available.

I do think it is strange that if I ship this back to the seller and get a refund provided that:
1) The seller has his useless part back and is out no money (Net zero for transaction)
2) The buyer has no part, and is out $50 for shipping it back to the seller (net -$50)

How is that fair?

 

i've also gladly paid the additional 3% to have some recourse JUST IN CASE.
good luck

 

Good luck and let us know how it works out with Paypal. Thomas18 = scumbag

 

Thanks for the info guys.

 

He's just being an asshat. If he's going to be out something, he wants you to also. The flaw in that is he's the one who goofed, not you.

 

Why is this guy not banned yet?

 

If he makes it right, he shouldn't be banned. If he doesn't, he should be.

 

Wow, how do you sleep at night? There is no way that engine was running for a year with bearing caps in that shape.

 

i hv video to prove. The head was in running condition before it was removed.

 

Oh well, never mind then, lol. All is well, carry on.

You are a total cockfag. Just go ahead and return the money with a little dignity.

 

Thomas.. Yes it may have been running, I will concede that, But it would not have run much longer.

Looking at the pics you posted, you can see the darker colors (circled in red) of heat build up on both the cam and the cam cap.





I didnt notice that when I first looked, and thought about buying this head.

once again

 

fear the bogus!

 

I thought about buying it too since I was in the area.

Laziness pays off again.

I hope you get your money back.

 

you're a pretty sick guy Thomas
