This guy is a ripoff artist Mrclean200518 Well he removed the for sale ad so I can't post the for sale URL. However a couple month as back he had a good running ls6 with patriot stage 2 heads ready to clean up and bolt on. I paid 750 shipped for these heads which at the time I thought was a decent deal. It took him a long time to ship the heads initially, and he sent me one picture of the valve spring side of the heads. When I received the heads they were poorly packaged (I'm amazed they weren't destroyed in shipping), completely covered in grease, and looked like total garbage. Once I started cleaning them I noticed several large gouges in two of the combustion chambers on opposite heads, then upon further inspection noticed chunks of what appeared to be wire imbedded in the chamber. Well big surprise, the heli coils in two of the rocker stands had been pushed out into the intake runner while the heads were on the car and it obviously had been ran like that for a while. So I file a paypal dispute, x2 first for not receiving the heads within a couple weeks, second because of the disrepair of the heads. Paypal dispute ends..not what I would call in my favor, I wanted some money back to repair the heads 280 for checking, valve job, deck surface etc. they wanted me to send the heads back on my dime, while he still had all my money NOT gonna happen. So I close the case, and paid my local machine shop to do the nessessary repair on the heads. I finally save the money up to have them installed......and guess what......more issues. One of those awesome on car heli coils won't hold torque and keeps pulling out. Thanks Mrclean200518 for these awesome heads you sold me, and way to take care of a disabled guy on fixed income. BUYER BEWARE!

Oh and this is proof he knew the heads were damaged, he posted this on 11-28-13 about the short block these came off of......
"heads are sold and shipped i have the shortblock. 2 of the pistons have nicks in them."
Then in another for sale ad with the engine apart he lists them as being in good shape...

"i have a good 01 ls6 motor from a trans am. the crank is perfect just back from machine shop polished and ready to go, the pistons and rods are good asking 450 for the rotating kit"
And some other parts same motor guess they were so good he lost em

Here is his response after I reported him
"u have fun with that. i done offered to return your payment if u sent them back. im not sure what your deal is im sorry u seen they was junk and decided to spend money on them instead of mailing them back like paypal originally ask you to do"
What a loser, even admits to them being junk.

A paypal duspute was started the money was being held and after he did return them within 14 days they released it back to me and apparently he wanted them . I cannot refund your machine cost and your fees for cleaning them up . You should have imedently msg me and then sent them I'm not denying the heads had place in one cylinder but I never looked before shipping that is my fault but you keeping them 6 months then asking for a refund is radicilous along with the guy with the lid u can't expect a man to refund you after keeping it for a month.
