I for one will never buy anything on EvoM ever again...people keep sending me crumpled up parts. People seem to charge WAY to much for used parts as well, might as well just go on ebay or buy new.

Does this look fishy, or am I just being over cautious?
I have dealt with him, it was a hassle free transaction. Just throwing it out there.

Right before xmas I was scammed by "mikgsxx"... sent him the money for a transfer case, and he dissapeared... hasnt logged on since, he probably made a new account name so beware.

Left me with my car sitting in a garage for a couple of months with no transfer case to fix it with... so not only am I out the $ that I sent him, but the means of using another car + storage fee + massive aggravation.

I traded longblocks with EVODreams for a 2.3 that suppossedly had no problems with it. Here is the for sale thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sa...longblock.html
The head was actually repaired by Dan Buschur when the block blew on the original engine and BR sold the head as "stock" even though it had some work done to it after the failure so I won't hold that against Justin.
After I had the engine install it was clear that it was burning oil and the oil pan was leaking. I asked Justin and he said he never had an oil leak and the only smoking he noticed was from a worn out turbo.
I can buy that the oil pan leak started while I was moving the shortblock in the back of my truck but it would be hard to believe that bouncing in the back of a truck bed would cause this:

The engine is running on three cylinders due to a problem with one of the exhaust valves on cylinder #3.
I have PM'd this to EVODreams giving him a chance to make things right and so far no response. I will dlete this post if he does but as of right now I'm questioning how he could of not known his car was running on three cylinders.

Bought this tranny
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sa...nsmission.html

little over two weeks ago paypalled over weekend, said it would ship out asap on monday and he would get me tracking, been two weeks.
Sent him 3 pm's and an email to his paypal address with no response...
He has 4 feedback positive and one by a friend of mine. He sent me pics of the tranny so I thought it legit.
