Like my old intake manifold and valve covers back since I never said keep them. I'll have more time once I'm off to go over everything.
I wasn’t planning on responding, but need to address your desire for “valve covers and intake manifold” back.
I have ABSOLUTELY NO DESIRE to play ping pong with you or any of your cheerleaders.
You know damn well that the agreement was your valve covers/ intake manifold were to be used essentially as a core which was factored into the price (trade plus money on top) considering your parts were less then desirable for a jet boat. All of a sudden you are asking for them back when engine was completed at the end of May. Almost three months have gone by and this is the first I am hearing about this. Way to be petty and downright dishonest...
Additionally, since I am already writing I’ll address your “turn key” comment.
I have a video of your engine running, and running well. If you look at my previous post, I believe that is a picture of you and your boat on the water when you turned the key and it started and got you all around the lake. Not to mention others that were on the lake and saw you out all day...
Turn Key does not indicate that since your engine is good that you can neglect everything else around it. There are other things that factor into how well an engine runs/performs and most importantly - longevity. If your gauges are not working, and your engine overheats in turn causing you to spin a bearing, that is neglect on your behalf. Just one factor surrounding what could have happened. I told you to do an oil change, which you neglected...the SIMPLEST thing you DID NOT EVEN DO to ensure your engines longevity!!!
The bottom line is YOU DIDNT HAVE THE FUNDS to ensure that everything worked hand in hand together.
Here is an example for you: A mechanic builds a car engine, and everything is new and runs great. The radiator busts while driving, and you figure, “well the mechanic told me that the engine is turn key, so Ill keep driving it and ill get to the radiator when I get to it.”
The motor overheats causing internal engine damage. Whose fault is it? The mechanic or the driver? Does this situation sound familiar?
Finally, you asked a few weeks ago for me not to text you and take it to the forums if I had anything additional to say, I did it. Now I am asking you, if you have anything additional to say, take it to court. We can hash it out there.
Any rebuttals to any of my points are unnecessary as they will not receive an additional response. Save your energy and time.
