I want to laugh, but after having dealt with a machinist/head porter (no one on this board) that took over 14 months to do an econo port job on a set of LS3 heads, I have nothing but understanding of your situation. It's no laughing matter.

It took long enough to get my heads back, that I no longer even own the car I was going to put them on. Someone else owns them now.

Were you misled to believe they were going to be ready 4 or 5 times as well?

Agreed, it is no laughing matter... but, if I wouldnt laught at it a little myself, I'd be stressing over something not worth my time.

Yes, it was "they're almost ready to ship, I just have to assemble them", that was 3 or 4 times. Then it was something else. Then they had to go back on the flow bench.

Then I got pics and flow numbers. When we finally got the heads, I believe it was 3 months later, I wasn't then and am still not entirely sure they are the same heads.

I still have all the emails. He was much easier to get in touch with before he got paid.

NEVER pay upfront. Ever. I knew that rule and I broke it because it was only a $550.00, plus shipping, port job. Especially if you are providing all the parts and all he is supplying is labor.

PS,
I was supposed to take "maybe a month or so".

It pays to do your homework before laying out cash. A famous individual once stated "A fool and his money is soon parted". Don't know your exact situation, but hope you get it resolved amiably.

Sorry Chad. Sucks this stuff has to happen, but its far from the first time. Found out the hard way the guys on the other forums weren't lying the hard way eh?

[sarcasm]
Just remember, these things take time! You can't "rush" excellence Chad!

I apologise for sinking to his level, loosing my cool with posting... but... enough is enough.

I am serious about the offer to sell, and save someone a year of b/s... and get the longblock.

Cant let any others be taken advantage of, as I... TRUTH had to come out.

Ive been keeping my cool... but enough is enough.

I dont want to post, anything about the subject anymore.

Just want:

1. A call for pick-up
2. 6500$, either way, Im happy... in fact, 6000$ and its yours. SERIOUSLY.
