Heard back from the owner Ray. Needless to say, he admired my passion.
He says they do their own rebuilds. Not true, since he is the one who stated to me personally the jobs go out. I'd be glad to show you the receipt, Ray. The engine heads shouldn't be pitted from electrolysis nor should the gaskets blow nor should the rear main seal leak, if they were rebuilt properly.
What you can do is refund my $3500. No I know you can't and won't.
