About the refund Ricky i will speak directly to Lewis.I think his mechanic need to refund him and i would say faster than asap.
But do you insist that what he told me the crank has was there from day one?
Come on mate i checked it (and polished every single journal),you checked it and made some comments to my feed back section ,machine shop checked it and said was ok...and now what?
You tell me i had remove crank seal by screwdriver and marked the crank?
What am i stupid or something?I still have the oil pump with the seal on it!
What i was pissed of with you was your suggestion to Lewis even you have checked itby yourshelf. You are not an out guy who dont know what is the story about..to suggest something like this.
Anyway..lets not ruin lewis thread anymore..cause it is about his car and not how someone realy stupid can scratch a crank.
Chris
the refund is between you and lewis.
the engineers checked the crank, and even marked on lewis invoice that they werent garunteeing the crank because they said it shouldnt be used.
i didnt see the scoring where the oil seal sits, until i fitted the oil pump.
i have spent many an hour helping lewis out, and i havnt charged him anything, and wont charge him anything.
i have spent far to much of my own spare time, i have taken days off work, i have damaged my back, i have borrowed the works van, i have done lots of running around, there's been things i've given lewis and not charged him for, i've worked out deals with local mechanics and engineers and stuff, and got him nice discounts from toyota,
i have bent over more than backwards (so much so a roundabout would look straight) trying to help lewis with all the issues, and to be fair most of the problems lewis has had is one of them things,
but i will not be accused of things,
i have gona above and beyond the call of duty of being a friend and helping someone out.
i was gonna charge lewis £200 to take the engine out, strip it down, do all the things he wanted, and put it back again,
then he had issues, that were beyond my control, and i told him not to worry about paying me until the engine was good and sorted as even though it's naff al to do with me i still feel bad, as i know what it's like.
i will not be taking any money from lewis i had decided this ages ago and is not just because of whats on here.
i dont know what you and lewis have been talking about between you it doesnt really concern me, but if i have been made to be the bad guy i'm pretty pissed.
