Hahahaha!!!!! Did you use the words " eBay buyer protection ".....????? Because if you did please let me be the first to tell you that its all bullshit! Selling on eBay I'm sure you know that already... All I can say is I've been burnt in the past and the same story has come up every time! Doesn't matter either way because I'm 110% sure anyone who has seen this thread will never do business with any of your 5+ eBay names. Hmmmmmm.....

1-You are kind of not a nice person and everyone here see's right thru you.
2-You ressurected the thread after it was dead.
Either way you made your own problems here and wasted your own time.
It's been entertaining for us though so thank you very much.

It's a waste of time for you for 2 reasons:
1-You are kind of not a nice person and everyone here see's right thru you.
2-You ressurected the thread after it was dead.
Either way you made your own problems here and wasted your own time.

Northstar from ADQ
I am sure that anyone who has read this thread does not need further explanation concerning the customer service that I received after purchasing a defective engine from ADQ. As far as my situation being "BS", I can assure you that I did in fact purchase a defective engine from ADQ, which was covered by a 25 day warranty. Mr. Thomas, however, bluntly refused to honor this warranty.
Prior to the purchase, Mr. Thomas guaranteed that, if the engine did not run well upon installation, or within 25 days thereafter, he would repair or replace it at no further cost. However, immediately on the first start, the engine poured out clouds of steam, and coolant boiled out of the reservoir. Anyone who is familiar with the Northstar engine's infamous weakness knows what this means; this engine had previously experienced an overtemp situation, resulting in a blown headgasket and/or stripped head bolts. Rather than working with me to resolve the issue, Mr. Thomas labeled me a scam artist, and accused me of tampering with the engine in order to rip him off.
This engine was installed by a Cadillac specialist, who has 30+ years experience with the Northstar engine. Concerning my own experience, I am a supervisor at a Mack Truck repair shop, and have experience and extensive training in Gasoline, Diesel, and Jet engines. The diagnosis was not "BS", we know engines.
I am not posting this to throw accusation or to degrade anyone; my purpose is to warn all parties concerned that, although it is a violation of Federal law to refuse to honor a written warranty, you cannot always trust the seller to honor his warranty. It is a very lengthy process to pursue legal action in order to arrive at a resolution, and this purchase has cost me a great deal of time and headache, not to mention the added expense of driving a rental car while the case continues. Learn from my mistake: Never purchase an engine without seeing and hearing it run, and do not rely on a seller's warranty.
Mr. Thomas, I do not wish to harm or degrade you in any way. If you would like to communicate with me privately, you have my contact information. I welcome an offer to repair or replace this engine as per your warranty, and I will be happy to publish a good word for you if you chose to do so. However, under the circumstances of your refusal, I feel it is beneficial for others to be aware that ADQ is willing to sell a defective item, covered by a warranty that is unsubstantial until enforced by a court of law.
