You're telling me to do something that I suggested in the first place.
Wrong. You're attempting to remove it from Mark's possession. If you can't trust him, how is he to trust you? Either have it inspected by your brother, mom, aunt, uncle, cousin, etc. at his house, or ask him to bring it back to wherever he picked it up from for inspection there.

This whole thing reeks of shadiness to me. Removing a good running engine from a daily-driver and selling it for $200? In the end, I think Mark got exactly what he paid for.

This.

If it ran for mark for even a couple days, then it was sold "running." No reason to say its false advertising on the sellers part.

It was never installed he was breaking it down to transfer parts over from his evo and found out about the bearings and crank during this process. At no time was it shown to actually run correctly, as seeming he went through text or e-mail to try to work things out and at this time I don't see him bashing about on the board about it why are you?

The best buy remark is kinda funny with tech support and all, if that's the case then if they do find something wrong with it they generally either refund or replace the product.

I sold the motor because it was taking up space in my garage. You are entitled to your opinion, so you and whoever else can say the situation is shady if you would like. And why wait for Mark to start his own thread? I would welcome him to reply in this thread and tell us of his experiences and his side of the story. Better yet, why doesn't Mark tell everyone how far stripped down the motor is? Or why he knows the bearings are shot? Pictures would be great too if that's not asking too much.

Sounds like the motor is all torn down then. Was the gameplan to return the motor fully assembled and back to the same spec, or post pictures of the carnage?

7-bolt DSM engines just aren't worth much. I bought a short block for I think 200 with a bunch of extra stuff, spent a couple hundred more having it rebuilt for peace of mind.

The whole point of this thread was to have the motor brought to a shop to be inspected, so that I COULD refund him his money.

The point of this thread seems to be you telling us what a bad guy Mark is. If Mark doesn't want to haul the engine all around town that is his choice. If you want it inspected, give him his $200 back and do it on your own dime and time (or your brother's).

[daneatsv8s]

Since I am too shady to be trusted, why doesn't Mark call, text, email, or snail mail Scheides, schedule him a time for him to pick up the motor, have him drop it off at any reputable shop in the metro area, and have them take a look? Then if it is bad, then I will refund Mark his money like I intended to do in the first place. Or at this point would we still be worried that someone would take the 7 bolt and run away?

[daneatsv8s]

I wanted it inspected so I could determine if it's bad or not for the sake of refunding Mark his money, surely you can understand this?

Go back to the best buy thing... Would you expect best buy to come to your house because something you bought was defective. The fact he was willing to pick it up is beyond he call of duty.
