Friend got screwed

OK heres the deal a guy from the Yahoo DSM group from MN sold this engine to my friend chris. the guy said is was running and in great shape, sait is was a 4g63t motor, and the key words, i would be able to run. See the thread below for more details and pics of the motor.

http://teamvanquish.com/smf/index.php?topic=19.0

So today he calls the guy after weeks of no answers, the guy picks up, chris says hey is this (insert name here because i forgot it) the guy pauses, then says no, chris then says look i know its you, then the guy hangs up.

2 days ago one of our sponcors came out and looked at the motor and noticed that the oil pad didnt have a inlet for the oil feed line.... this is not a 4g63 turbo motor after all.

The guy is from MN, ill get his name and see if any of you know him.

Hmmmm..... DSMStyle Mafia just doesn't have the same ring to it. I am sure a few members could be talked into a beat down though. Post his Yahoo identity from MN-DSM also.

Re: Friend got screwed

One thing I don't want is a bashing. Which Is where these always go. I'd prefer to not have the site put in the middle of this anymore. Maybe PM Jet with the info or myself if he's a member here. I think Jet is a mn DSM yahoo mod.

Re: Friend got screwed

Sorry to hear that the motor he was shipped is shit. A "`style mafia" could be in order.

Let us know what you find out, I am curious to know who it is. I highly doubt it but I hope it's no one on here.

I assume you meant oil pan and oil return.

Hell yeah it does, LightningGSX and I are ready to have a lynching for those parents that locked their kid in a dog kennel. We could continue right on to this guy.

Re: Friend got screwed

its not a bashing, we havent found the guy yet, when we do find him then its bashing. Joe Greer is the guys name, his friends name is Chico. I dont know their MN-DSM handles, I hate it when people get screwed over especially when its someone fromt the dsm communty screwing another.

Re: Friend got screwed

I sold my 4G63 block with a non-turbo oil pan after I swapped it onto the 4G64. Probably a long shot but you might want to go by more than just the oil pan.
