indeed.
i paid a shop to rebuild a 450hp n/a 306 race motor, first, they wouldnt return it. so its a claim and delivery case. the judge ordered him to hand it over but the case is still open for other reasons. anyways he tried to charge me storage on the motor, but the judge said no dice being i paid a deposit and called, sent certified mail etc. the defendant claimed numerous times that he finished the work.
well the first thing i did when i got the motor was go directly to another builder. as soon as i moved the long block....coolant comes out. without me saying anything the builder was like this motor hasnt been rebuilt and pointed out a bunch of things to me.NOBODY rebuilds a motor then puts coolant in. oil..yes coolant no. carbon on the head, pistons etc. but i document everything, and he claimed to have changed the block, cause the old one had a pinhole in a cyl and ran, but ran hot. the numbers from the old block and this so called new one matches, among other tell tale features
like i said there were numerous times that he said he did the work or the work was done etc. this wasnt a "slip up"
