INVISIBLEZ - LS1TECH and YellowBullet

NSTYC5 - HTown Racing and Houston Performance Trucks

Michael Mixon

I purchased a set of 243 heads from this guy. I purchased them on Houston Performance Trucks on 1/17/2012 for $350 shipped. He said he had 2 sets. I said it didn't matter which set I got one was sodium one was not. He said he shipped me the sodium ones. So after not recieving the heads and after he said he shipped them via Fed Ex and provided tracking info that never updated. I called the Fed Ex store he claims he shipped them from along with Fed Ex several times. He never shipped them. I think he just needed time or something. Anyway he says he is going to ship me the 2nd set. I recieved the 2nd set on 2/09/2012. As you can see I was very patient and I have every txt back and forth. I knew I was getting a decent deal so I was like well I'll wait. He has good reputation on LS1 Tech, YellowBullet, Htown Racing, and Houston Performance Trucks. After I recieved the heads I had 2 bent valves shipped with them, a broken rocker bolt, the bowls were beat up, and one of the vacuum line bolts were destroyed.

A red flag was he said he had to create a paypal account. I found an older post where he was selling stuff and had a different paypal address. This was after I had paypal'd him and was waiting and was getting worried.

He said he would ship me valves. Its been a mth still no valves. I've given up hope dealing with this guy. I just want everyone to know this guy isn't trust worthy.

I didn't even mess with paypal, I know I'd win but then i'd be out $50 shipping this heads back to him. I'm just taking them to a local machine shop to be cleaned up.

I was installing my new Springs tonight and found the broken rocker bolt and that was the last straw.

Thanks for Listening!

Sorry dude - that sucks. I wish people wouldn't screw others over - I mean come on, be decent - have a conscious. I would never screw someone over.

Got the heads back from the machine shop. Cost me $150. I had to have 1 bolt removed, 1 bolt fixed, and they had to be milled .006 to clean them up.

I still see this guy selling stuff on here and creeping around!!! TTT

I talked to Mike about this last night and he told me he offered to give you your money back and pay for the shipping. He said you delcined the offer because you got a good deal on the heads.

I can not answer the other issues, but Mike is a Stand up guy and usually goes way out of his way to help people out. Maybe he just dropped the ball on this, I don't know...

I can guarantee you that offer was never made after I received the heads. The only correspondence I had with Mike were Via text after I received the heads. I have attached the text messages.

If that offer were made I would of taken it. I knew I could do a Paypal claim and win but I knew i'd have to pay shipping.

Mike never seemed like a bad guy. But trust me you know when your sending someone a crap product. Broken bolts, stripped bolts, dings in the chambers. Common!

2012-02-09 20:27:25 out 8323471670 8323471670 Got the heads. Obviously popped a piston or something. 2 valves are bent along with dings in 2 cylinders. Also the bolt hole for the vacuum line is broke out. Not just gonna lash some valves and install. Awesome
2012-02-09 20:29:15 in 8323471670 8323471670 The heads never had a piston come apart on them
2012-02-09 20:31:41 out 8323471670 8323471670 Well something happened. Either way I have to find replacement valves and fix the broken bolt hole somehow. And have them cleaned up.
2012-02-09 20:34:20 in 8323471670 8323471670 What broken bolt hole, I am honestly dumbfounded, I took these off my 01 z 28 that I got a little over a month ago
2012-02-09 20:40:30 in 8323471670 8323471670 I can send you another set of valves if you want.
2012-02-09 20:41:18 out 8323471670 8323471670 I just need 2 the rest were fine. That would be great.
2012-02-09 20:41:21 in 8323471670 8323471670 Whatever u sent just keeps saying downloading
2012-02-09 20:41:44 out 8323471670 8323471670 It's a pic. I can try again.
2012-02-09 20:42:22 in 8323471670 8323471670 Just got it
2012-02-09 20:44:35 in 8323471670 8323471670 Will that easy out? I didn't pull the heads off, and didn't notice it, or I would've got it out ****, going to kick my helpers ***
2012-02-09 20:45:31 in 8323471670 8323471670 Do you want me to send the valves?
2012-02-09 20:45:42 out 8323471670 8323471670 The bolt is out. It's reamed bad. They didn't do it. It had epoxy around it from where it was installed like that from before.
2012-02-09 20:45:58 out 8323471670 8323471670 Yes I need 2 valves.
2012-02-09 20:52:51 in 8323471670 8323471670 Intake or exhaust?
2012-02-09 20:53:39 out 8323471670 8323471670 One of each
2012-02-09 21:05:50 in 8323471670 8323471670 Ok no problem

That was a month ago. Did he ever send me valves?? Nope! Its after the paypal dispute time what does he care now? He has his money.
