Default BUYER BEWARE........ E BAY SELLER "hifloenginesinc"

A friend of mine just bought some heads from this e bay seller going by the name of Hifloenginesinc. My friend not knowing anything about heads paid a rediculous amount of money for stock ls1 castings supposably flowing 321 CFM!!!! These heads still have the stock valves!!!!!!!! someone took a dremel tool to these things and made them appear to look nice but they dont flow ****!!!! we had them flowed and at .600 they were flowing 263 cfm. From the looks of his feedback he is buying peoples stock ls1 heads and home porting them..

What a joke....... can a mod please make this a stickey?

some of those pics on the e bay page were stolen from including the flow bench

Ebay Has Payment Protection Up To $2000. Did You Pay By Paypal?

Ebay's protection is a joke. It's all about their bottom line now. They'll do NOTHING to help out someone who was scammed.

Never ever use paypal. Use a credit card. Your credit card co will get your money back from paypal. Paypal will screw you. I know, I've been scrawed by them.

Listen to this man. I prefer to use MasterCard as they have a kickass protection policy and actually follow it.

I've never been scrawed before, is that anything like being screwed? (Joking)
I do agree with you about paypal, I've read some stories that made me mad and it didn't even happen to me. I thought there was a buyer beware section on here somewhere?

Never buy cylinder heads from a guy who's primary ebay buisness is selling golf *****. Your friend could have bought Patriot's for less and at least had a good budget head. Reading through his feed back, it's obvious he is an idiot. In all the replies to his negative or neutral feed back, everyone is a idiot or a jerk. You don't do buisness with people like that. His feedback would also be lower if people wouldn't "mutaully withdraw" feed back. Your friend should get a refund, and then turn him over to ebay for advertising false information.

The other funny part is the fact he is also advertising a TFS "gold" dual 1.300" diameter spring kit and the picture is of a Comp 1.440 987 kit, or something of the like...
