Kyle Bonner, you are a real class act

I bought a set of Thunder Racing pushrods and a Hoyes timing chain from him in this thread:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=172887

He posted that the pushrods where 7.400" and NIB. Also the timing chain was NIB. Since I posted that I sent payment, he edited the post removing those entries.

After payment was made, he sent this email:

Hey i just pulled the timing chain out of the cabinet and discovered a bottle
of 50w leaked all over it. The box is trashed so Im gonna send it with the
pushrods in the box my Magnecore wires came in. Just giving you a heads up!
No problem. I received the pushrods and timing chain Tuesday June 1. After inspecting the timing chain, there is clear ware on both of the gears. Plus the pushrods where the wrong length!

Here is my email indicating what I found:

Hello,

I received the pushrods and timing chain last night
and I am a little pissed off and disappointed.

1) The pushrods are 7.350" and not 7.400" as you
described in the post. Since I have unmilled heads,
I can not use these since they will be too short.

2) Both gears for the timing appear to have ware
on them. Clearly it is not NIB as you descibed
in the post.

At this point in time, I would like to send the
parts back and get a full complete refund. Please
reply back so that this can be worked out.

Keith
Here is his responce:

the pushrods were sold to me as 7.4 and the timing chain has never been used so
i dont know where you would see wear on the gear, you might find some rust but
thats it
Here is my responce:

Hello Kyle,

Sorry, but that is not acceptable! Are you telling me
that you bought these from someone else and passed them
along as NIB? The pushrods where sold under false
advertisement, because you stated they where 7.4" and
they are 7.35". If the timing chain even has rust on,
how can be considered it be considered NIB? I want
to have a full refund including the cost to ship these
parts back to you!

Keith
At this point in time, not a single responce This type of thing really pisses me off. Even more I am out $200 and I have unsed unuable parts

Here is a nice big FU to you Kyle Bonner since you have my money and now I have you crap.

Keith

Where is this looser from? Maybe one of the local board members can talk to him.

Pretty shady to remove the description from the for sale ad.

Here's the reason he put for editing his for sale ad: Last edited by blue02sierra : 05-21-2004 at 09:57 AM. Reason: additions

First off I am not able to check my e-mail, so I just read your e-mail today.
I was in no way trying to get over on anyone especially on this board. The parts were removed from the post because after had been sold and sold was written beside them I still kept recieving e-mails about them. Like I stated before I did not know the pushrods were 7.35 instead of 7.4 as I also bought these to with un-milled heads, the timing chain has never been used so I still dont see where there could have been wear on the gears, however, I will refund your money I just need you to e-mail me to set it up. And lastly I dont appreciate you saying some of the things you posted, after this is all taken care of I would expect this to be ressolved
