Warning: dbailey1234
First I want to make it clear that I do not take this lightly. The internet is a permanent record but after months and months of assurances this is my only option.
I want to put out a warning out there for anyone considering purchasing anything from user dbailey1234 - David Bailey in Richardson Texas. You may or may not get what you paid for.
I bought a euro 928 engine this past summer but had concerns about crankshaft endplay which he could not check himself so we agreed that I would make a partial payment and if it checked out good I would send the rest. So I did get the engine and the endplay was within spec. However I found the AC mount on the engine was broken off and laying on the floor of the shipping crate. The broken edges are dirty so this happened years ago and not during shipping. I'm willing to give the benefit of doubt that he did not know about it but these engine blocks are made of alusil alloy and are very difficult to weld properly.
After some back and forth we agreed that I would send the rest of the payment in exchange for more parts like the MAF, airbox, computers, coils etc.
This was agreed to on July 13 and on July 25 I received an air flow meter from 928 Intl. Well I don't care where the parts come from but this was incorrect, I needed a MAF sensor. An exchange was made and I got the proper MAF at the end of August.
Since then I have not received anything else and gave him an ultimatum to send the items by this past Saturday or I would have to post publicly about how he operates.
As far as the engine block, I have not been able to find anyone that can make these repairs without shipping it cross country. It is probably cheaper to buy another block but the bores would have to be the same tolerance group to use these euro pistons.
I'm hoping this pressures him to send the rest of the parts, that is all I want.
