Pulled # 5 out and this is what it looks like.

 

That scuffing is only on the thrust side of the piston. That only happens with oil starvation and most likely during initial startup.

 

OUCH! I'm sorry that happened to you. Hopefully, something will be done to rectify this.

 

oooooooooooooohhhhhh damn thats bad, going to need 8 new pistons and a bore/hone for sure, start checking rod bearings and main bearings, cam bearings if you can too.

 

I pretty much paid $2500 for a used stock crank and Callies rods. Its a deal of the centuy.

 

Im sorry this happened bro. IT seems this kind of treachery is happening alot more these days. its truly pathetic that people cant own up to their mistakes and make things right. But after all, he is human, and it just goes to show you can never truley trust another human.

Its a sad truth. Im sorry this happened to you man. I hope like crazy something gets worked out.

 

Time to do this the hard way and call the credit cards. Im out of patience.

 

I did that once. I had a guy ship me a set of AFR heads that I never received. He PMed me a tracking number and it said that they were delivered, but I never got them. He was very adament that he sent them and to the correct address. I went and filed a stop pay through my bank. They got me the money back and then two days later I got the heads. He ended up sending them to my same address, but instead of 2nd street he sent them to 1st street. My neighbor down the road was nice enough to bring them in when it rained, and then carry two 25+ lb boxes down the road and drop them off at my house. I resent the seller the money and everything was good.

This though is obviously not an issue of improperly writing a shipping address. I paid through paypal that is connected to my checking account. My bank took care of it in less than 24 hours. Your credit card should be able to do the same thing.

 

I paid the same way. Half on credit card and half on debit card through paypal.

 

^ You shouldn't have an issue. I went to my bank, filled out a piece of paper, and by the next day had my $1900 back in my account. After I told them how I paid and that I hadn't received anything when it said it was delivered they didn't ask a single question. If you start mentioning rings, scuffing, pistons, rods, etc.. they will have no idea what you are talking about anyways.

 

LOL I know. Especially since most phone calls are outsourced to India anyway. Im actually talking to an Indian right now.

 

In the pictures on post 37 you said the pitting on the piston tops look like detonation. It looks more to me like someone blew the ends of the spark pugs off and they were rolling around the chamber until they were exhausted. Unfortunaly I know first hand what that looks like.

 

Daniel is denying me the refund because "I used the product and took it apart". LOL. Thats what he told paypal when I opened the dispute. Looks like its going to be done the hard way.

 

So sad to hear another story of someone getting ripped off. Seems like it happens daily. I'm no longer buying used stuff because its too hard to trust people now. Especially on motors. Good luck to you man.

 

Here he is.

Hi-how-are-ya Hi-how-are-ya...lol
You only live once....might as well screw people while you can.

 

It is hilarious when you call them. They all use the same name. I forget what it is off the top of my head, but every time I called them I talked to someone with the same name with a very different voice.

 

This bitch is going to be learning a very big life lesson.

 

keep your friends close and used parts sellers closer.

Wow 2400 bones.....

 

Yikes, that terrible... So sorry you had to deal with this.
