Hi Guys,
I'm unfortunately in urgent need of someone who can pick up my 2.0 engine and hold on to it for a week or so till I can fetch it. The engine has been at a rebuilder for 6 months. He's been paid in full for the work (long story) and has a bunch of new parts I supplied. I've seen pictures of the motor assembled, but it hasn't started...despite multiple promises for the past 4 months that "it'll run tomorrow." I'm getting the full monty of BS... tall tales...avoiding calls for weeks...sickness...family excuses...you name it. I finally spoke with the guy tonight and the situation has gone from bad to much worse. Running or not, at this point the engine needs to be out of his shop...if he even still has it. Yeah, it's that bad. So...if there's anyone in the Charlotte area who can help, please PM me and I'll give you more details. Happy to pay you or make a donation to your favorite charity. Or, if you have any suggestions on frieght companies that might be able to handle this, please lmk. PS If you have a sense of who I may be talking about, please don't guess in this thread. There'll be plenty of time to tell the full story once everything is in my possession. Hopefully it will have a happy ending, but right now I have that sinking feeling...and need to act quickly. Someday this will make an interesting video.... Thanks, Ian |

Wow great result,lucky the builder let the engine go,shame it wasn't run,I've just done a 1.8 t4 carb build,theres always small jobs to do after test running,I had 2 small oil leaks and an exhaust leak to deal with,but more of a hassle to run up a FI out of the car also sounds like the guy was just lazy,sad really because you most likely payed for that .
Well you can only move on and go up from here as this sort of thing is a lot of grief, good luck . |
