this issue is being resolved by sbr. anymore non-productive comments will be reviewed. unless a part is readily available, a part cannot be fixed right until one has it(from experience).

Theres not much you can do to help get the car running, as it is more a time issue, which slowboy was responsible for. It doesnt sound like you are willing to give me any money back. I would also like to make sure that ive got everything i was supposed to:
shortblock
cam gears
head gasket
timing belt
water pump spacer

Like i said, i was led to believe that i would have all gaskets needed to put this new motor in, but did not receive any, so i bought a full gasket set, and found a local auto parts store for the exra water pump gasket i needed.

- Im in and out of class until 1230, so i can give you a call this afternoon as im in the basement right now-no service

Yup same here. This was back in 05. Car apart needed an O2 housing gasket. They sent me one for what I'm guessing was a DSM. No prob I called explained I received the wrong part. Yada Yada. Sent it back. I called wheres my new gasket that was getting overnighted? Oh there must have been a problem in shipping. I told them forget it as my car was apart.

Went to Mitsu and ordered one. Bastards refunded my money for the gasket and charged my a restocking fee. I flipped

Never contacted them again and def never will. Sucks how you can loose someone over something a small a a gasket

Shame on SBR

When i spoke to you yesterday, i let you know that the shop has already been waiting on parts on different occasions, and the best you could do was get me the gaskets next week... even though i told you my car was supposed to be done today, and tuned on saturday. The other thing is the thread of the 2.4 on here, same as what i got, for $100 cheaper. You said you could do nothing more for me yesterday, so unless things have changed, it will be a short conversation.

I just left a vmail on the number that I have on file for you. It ends in 1454, not sure if that's the best number to reach you at but i do have those gaskets on my desk and go the go ahead to next day them to you. Please let me know if you want me to do that.
