I also had a bad experience with this guy.

He advertised some used eagle rods and wiseco pistons stating they had less than 850 miles on them. He took a long time to ship the package.

When I finally received them, they had considerable wear and scortch marks from high heat... so much that the machine shop and mechanic stated that he would not put them in because of the warpage and they would not warrant any work. I had to just buy new ones.

My advise is to not do business with this guy.

I have bought used stuff before and understand items have wear on them.

My problem is that he grossly misrepresented the wear in his add and when I specifically asked him in pm if the pistons cam from a blown engine. He said no. My mechanic said in his opinion that is they did only have 850 miles on them then the engine they were in likely blew.

I offered to send them back for a return of the price but he ignored me.

From my experience and my opinion, the guys word isnt worth anything.
