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.

I'm not even asking you for anything never even named you and once again you get angry an go straight to name calling.

The boat did run after I had to figure out why it wouldn't start and it didn't start when I picked it up.

I'll just start a rebuild thread let this die. Once again unhelpful, and upset you can't lie to me and take my money.

Never texted you at 3am never would do that it was at 10 and 620 the next morning.

You got my text at 230 because that's when I got reception. I have 15 plus people who know it broke down first thing in the morning.

Yes it was on the water after you claimed bad alt wich I have checked it's fine and not a 35 amp like you say. You had no clue why it wouldn't start.

Gauges work fine tested them have no problem with them.

You told me an oil change was done after cam break in didn't realize oil on a non run motor should be changed.

I was quoted by you 2500 to get it running. 3800 later you made it pretty and reusing wires and just cutting a bunch off and tickling away is not a rewire in my eyes.

If you knew the amout I could afford would cause a motor to work hand in hand why take my money and build something you knew would fail.

I never keep driving the boat when hot only happened at idle. If a mechanic built a motor installed it all including cooling and for whatever reason the motor failed without a bad radiator they would tell you bring it back and they will look at it.

I told you to do what needed to be done to the heads and block after you flip flopped from mine to another's .
 
The tank could not cause the motor to blow on less than 1 actually on the water run time as the pic you posted was at idle what does that show.

The fact you never wanted to do paper work and got upset when I'd bring it should have been a red flag.

After reading more I realized oil pressure will change so as far as oil pressure dropping I was mistaken on that my bad.

You give props to morepower but sure had no problem telling me my motor is way better and he didn't know what he was doing that's why he had to break it open 4 times.

If when you stopped by the night the motor broke( happened to be in the area he wouldn't come by for free) you talked shit on how I broke it an the clogged pump one small sting of line and a 6 inch stran of grass blew the motor come on.

You bitched about how you would have to pull the motor and break it open and rattled off a 2500+ price tag to fix it you never just said bring it by let's figure it out all you saw was dollar signs.

What's court gonna do? You covere your ass with no papper work. I've wasted enough time and money with you.

You only jumped into this thread when you thought I'd bash you with I never did so all te name calling is sad on your part.

Good luck with life I'm done

This is such a screwed up situation that will never get resolved. Bummer for both parties.

Not trying to defend myself (okay maybe I am) since my name has been dropped in this thread a few times.... I do want to say a few things. Of course I didn't know what I was doing. Phil gave me good advice, that I've been very thankful for. But in the end, MY motor that was built by ME, in MY garage, Well it's still running strong (anyone that has been out to the river with me will vouch)  and it has zero issues... So before anyone wants to try and drag me through the dirt... I take pride in my work, if something goes wrong with my motor, it's nobody's fault but mine.... Also in case i forgot, I have over 15 solid hours on the first engine I've built and still no problems....

Phil, you are a solid dude that I'd trust build an olds for me any day. And wish you the best of luck.

And Handi-crack, I'll still help you out wherever and however I can. I'm far from a guru but I'm always here to help.

Good luck guys... But from here out let's leave me out of this, I have zero interest in dealing with this Business deal...
