Are these cam journals serviceable?

[white05gt]

I'll peruse the classifieds and forums to find good people who are willing to help out a forum member with free parts. I will than sell them on the forum. This is me paying it forward.

Here's to hookin' a brother up

 

[Kuro!]

Kuro your so funny
I didn't put him up to shit
I forwarded the link because he looked like he had a long day and needed a laugh , i explained to him how entertaining you are .

It's hard to entertain when I get such good competition from you posting 5 pages of your "sexy" girlfriend posing on your mortgaged car.

I admire your attempts to divert the attention away from the fact that you were called out by members OTHER than myself(some of who have had "beef" with me) for more than two pages with no response.

OK. I understand the point you're making is that Hollywood's actions are not paying it forward. I'll even agree with that.

My point is that he is not required to pay it forward. That should be his choice. He shouldn't be pressured into doing so. And he shouldn't be banned from selling because of his choice. You, however, have the choice to buy or not from him.

I do believe, however, that the conflict of interest should preclude him from moderating the section.

That's all i'm sayin' homie.

 

[joedls]

That's all i'm sayin' homie.

But that's not really true, is it? You've been trying to stir up shit and in doing so, you've said a lot more than just this.

 

[BruceH]

as far as the cam journals go. The only way to fix them would be the bearings like said but as an FYI i wouldn't sell or use those lifters. Think about the trash that went through that oil to scar those joutnals...

Good point, thanks for the advice. I had planned on selling them to recoup some of the money but there is no way I could knowing this.

Oh god, here comes more of your circular logic. Back to the joint/nietzche circle?

but thats not enough for some people.. its not just moderating, but also selling tons of parts for profit.

I can see both sides, but this is more of a public of Caleb..

Just because you write something that came out of your ass, it doesn't make it true. Explain my circular logic.

I have no beef with Caleb, I will say this though...
It is definitely a conflict of interest to moderate the classifieds section while being the biggest user of the classified section.

The only fear would be locking threads that has stuff he wants in them so nobody else can get them etc... I have only seen him do that once but I believe it was because the user requested the thread be locked.

We were also discussing the topic of threads "disappearing". Something another member brought up.

This ^^^
That is what bothers me most, not to mention him not becoming a vendor despite making all his money selling parts.

I'd rather moderate than sell , i enjoy being a part of the staff . I will not pay vendor fees do to the facts i discussed before . It it solves the issue i will pull the cf cover and only leave the 2 sets of wheels , my mafia , 5 PT harness , and if i take anything off the 2012 I'll sell tem else where if no one wants them . But if someone posts a i wtb a oem water pump , and i have one sitting here , i don't see a issue I'n pm'ing the guy and don't see it as a conflict .


But i still don't see how me buying
For example a new hood for the 5.0 , and then changing my mind 6mo. And posting it is going to hurt anyone ....

Re selling parts i bought for my car lol are you deaf blind or both ?

We all know you're full of shit. You're telling me every part you ever bought and sold has been put on your car? Or every part was even intended to be put on your car? Stop bullshitting just because someone called you out.

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Don't you guys think this has gone far enough?

Can't we all just get along now. Let the mods figure out what to do(if anything) about this.

I think it's been beaten to death..........

Yes
85 % went on the car for awhile the rest was either the wrong stuff or never got installed . Nitrous example - i bought and installed 3 kits overb2 years , each was on the car for 2 months or so . But i always chickened out and never got a tune or sprayed it , but it was all wired /ran

 

[Captainstr8edge]

to setle the "thread lock" debate. if he sees something first, and PM's the seller, then he should get it. If he doesn't see it first, then the person who does see it first PM's the seller and gets it. So what the hell would be the point of locking a thread to keep others from buying something he wants when all he has to do is send a quick PM and its his? It would be rather shitty of a seller to sell it to someone else when he called dibs. Same goes for him deleting threads. The only issue here should be him becomoing a vendor or not, and I don't think he should be since he doesn't buy direct or own a yard or anything like that. what he buys and sells is his buisness and if you don't like it don't buy from him. I can say if he decided to stop selling and buying here it would be our loss.

I don't never considered you a moderator, and sure as hell don't after this.

 

[VTXFrank]

Guys, if Caleb EVER manipulated a For Sale thread to his benefit, don't you have the confidence and trust in the other staffers to fucking roast his ass? I can guarantee you that Kimmer or Hogman either one would shut his whole account down to nothing if he did that. And personally, I don't think Caleb would ever even consider it.

As I said before, the decisions that lead or not lead to Caleb becoming a vendor are NOT OUR CONCERN! You've voiced your issues and concerns, at length, in this thread. Have any of you bothered to PM an Admin to request a resolution to this? Are you really going to continue to hammer a FELLOW ENTHUSIAST with this shit?

I swear, some of you are worse a person than what you're trying to make Caleb out to be. And I will say this....just so you hard headed dumb motherfuckers get it through your eyeballs and registered on that turd nugget you call a brain....I wouldn't conduct myself the way Caleb has. I believe that if I get a break on something, then I am required to to pass that on. I WILL NEVER make money off of parts given to me. Unless the person who gives it to me says I can sell it or use it whatever I want to do with it. I also wouldn't buy and sell parts with the intent to make money on a forum if for no other reason than the fact it requires more effort than I'm willing to put into it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this. I would never put myself in a position to offend my fellow forum goers. So I can see where some of you are coming from. It's the ones who are greatly enjoying the public execution of a good guy that disgust me to no end. This isn't SD (Shitbagtheifpussyboy) Wheeler we are talking about. Isn't this a guy most of you have called a friend in the past? So why not give Caleb the same respect you would give any other friend and talk to him in private. One on one?
