Man that sucks. I have to agree with everyone above. I would have to go to the machine shop or send someone by there. I hate to say it but it holds true. Sometimes you gotta be an A hole to get sh it done. I watched a close friend of mine (locksmith) put the nice guy on the back burner to get rid of the A hole wearing him out about finishing his stuff. I personally hate being that guy but sometimes you just have to.... Good luck and keep us posted. I also hate being jerked around. Look me in the eye and tell me the truth. Not what you think I want to hear....

Yeah , very true. And I understand the COVID deal. Hell , I had it last month ! I still managed to work and get stuff completed. I very well may end up getting to the point of simply picking up what I paid for and selling it for 25 cents on the dollar and ordering an engine.

Make sure you have new engine in hand before you do that.

Sale of boats at all time highs and states like Texas that had once in lifetime deep freezes this winter broke lots of engines causing even more demand.

Get it in writing I have a clown going on 2 years now every excuse in the book! Or like others say buy new !

Had a guy jerking me around for a while. I was very understanding. Finally had enough and told him, I'm coming to pick up the parts I paid for. Guess what got done after that conversation?

I'm not that guy, but it's true. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

Well , I attempted to take a look at progress today however no one was available to show me my parts. I talked to a person who worked there and he didn’t have knowledge of which was mine. The owner was on the dyno and couldn’t help me out. 4 hour round trip and I wish , in hindsight, I wouldn’t have bothered. I am thinking this thread is gonna get moved over to the beware section soon.

So you drove there, and nobody was able to assist you on finding your order?

Did you have time to wait? You pay any money yet?
4 hour round trip and I'd be waiting and retrieving any of my stuff and find some other shop at this point.

Thats BS right there. If the front man didnt know whats going on, get someone who does...while I wait.

I'm going on 5 weeks since I dropped everything but bearings, rings and pistons off. The machinist sent pictures yesterday
