James , The bottom end of the motor I bought from you that was on racing junk . com does not have a full eagle forged assembly as stated in you description. You also you told me every part in the engine is new,this is not the case either. You told Me the motor was put together with all ARP bolts.It is not. You told Me the heads are brand new AFR competition eliminator heads.They are not. The walls of the cylinders are severely scored. 3 of the rocker arms are damaged. The cam looks like it was improperly broke in. The holes in the fly wheel where the torque converter bolts to the fly wheel are out of round. Many of the bolts in the engine are rounded off. Most of the holes in the heads are either stripped out or have bolts snapped off in them. The ends of the connecting rods are a blue purple color. There were metal fragments in the motor. Also the motor had some kind of very thick oil additive in it .This is by far a unprofessionally built motor. I asked you several times if there was anything wrong or needed that I should Know.You said that everything is fine. I am giving you a chance to make good on this or refund my money before I take further action. I have not run this engine,all i have done is put it on my engine stand and pulled the valve covers and oil pan that has a flapping windage pan in it. I am more than likely going to take it to a professional engine builder for disassembly and diagnosis. Kindly respond with Your intensions on how you are to resolve this issue. I would like to be reimbursed My 4500 dollars and in return you can have the motor back. Failure to respond will result in further action being taken. I can be contacted at 1-609-680-6145. I thank you for your cooperation in advance.
Darren.
