Default Before I say something out of line.......

A friend purchased a fresh engine off of a member here, it was advertised as fresh with no hours, balanced and assembled by a reputable builder for a good amount of $$$
He gets it home a 24 hour drive and there is carbon in the exhaust ports, he was told it had over 400hp I pulled the valve cover to find peanut port heads that are deff not fresh. I questioned the seller and through the buyer was told to go f.;ck myself. How would you guys handle this?????

what ya think?
heres the pm i sent maybe a little more accusatory than questioning but i dont think it deserved a go fu$k yourself reply
"Hey what's the deal with this motor you sold kyle? It's a 330 at best and it's not fresh the exhaust ports have carbon in them. He bought it because you said it was a 425hp 468. It's got 1014156 heads that are peanut ports. Is the bottom end old 330 cast junk?"

First I would say that before I called someone out I would make sure I knew without a doubt that he was cheated. Once that has been confirmed then call him out. It will be way better for everyone involved if attornies dont have to get involved to reach an acceptable agreement but if you cant then consider that route too.
