pickupguy - what do you think? part 2
 

"I purchased this engine from a member of this forum (name witheld at this point) and was told engine had 57,000 miles on it and a "top end job" 1,000 miles ago. What are your impressions?"

I wanted to post my opinion on this and felt that the matter should be bought to a conclusion on the forum - i'd be interested to know the outcome and it has more technical content than half the threads on the board!!

In my opinion (from what I have read) Gary appears to be a standup guy and just made the mistake of standing behind the sale of an engine he did not know enough about when he really should have used a disclaimer - he should swallow his pride, save his reputation and refund the cash. Lesson learned.

As for the exhaust hardware Noah, surely that would have been removed in the "top end rebuild" ;)

Good luck pickupguy.

JMHO, thanks you can close the thread now.......

It does seem rather disingenuous that this thread was arbitrarily closed (do a search for motormeister).

This transaction took place as a result of the resources provided by the Pelican Parts BBS and it seems to me those same resources should be available to settle this.

i would have simply moved it to 'ot'...pickupguy's thread pales by comparison to the mud-slinging which routinely goes on there.
