    No Em, it is not sitting there assembled ready to ship.

    4 years ago he would have paid to ship it back. Now that he no longer has his car he has no use for it.

    I'm not going to argue on the kids behalf but you guys did screw him over and it's still not resolved.

    It is sitting here, assembled, like it was 4 years ago. I'm sure Hans has archived pictures from then as well, sitting on the engine stand for 2+ years. I can go crawl under the shelf and take pictures of it if you would like.

    Did it tear from the seams??? It's a very common problem, it is due to lack of washing it...or you might have a dent in your washing machine and it leaked all the fluids when you washed it.

    Everytime someone makes a complaint it's always GZP say no it's not us, it's the customer. The customer this, the customer that. Well, I don't give a shit about what the customer does, the fact that a company is even talking about a customer and not just saying, we are getting it handled, is unprofessional. Why does it always seem like it's one excuse to the next? And any time someone posts something, I just count how many posts it is until Em asks for it to be closed.

    Another member pointed out someone besides Carlos, and you deny that you had any reason with why it's been there for 4 years. I highly doubt that. Maybe since he doesn't have his car anymore you should buy that engine off of him. If it really even is sitting there. It just sounds like another game of denial. I expect we would get a similar response for the next member someone calls out

    Own up to your responsibilities and keep your damn mouth shut. I cant believe you even talk about your customers.

    His engine was finished years ago, he refused to pay shipping on the engine, saying we told him we would pay shipping. We would NEVER say that, we would never include return shipping on an engine build, ever. I have been telling him this for years, before he sold off his car. He is welcome to have the engine shipped back to him, and he can sell it if he would like. We would be more than happy to open it up and inspect, and make sure everything is still in good condition, since it has been sitting for so long.

    As for Carlos, he is on the same page with us in regards to the progress. Any reason aside from that is not your concern. Only that the issue IS being resolved, and he is happy with how things are coming along.

    Em, the engine had been there for 7 months before it was assembled. You also had me assemble it with parts from the flood and Brandon was not okay with that. In the year that followed, parts of that engine were removed and used on other cars.

    It's not my place to tell you guys how to run your business but the fair way to resolve this is to just give the kid his $$ back and keep his motor. In the end you end up making out ahead because you recieve a FREE 4-bolt long block.

    I wouldn't really worry about GZP to much there stay on both forums will be short. I just sent info to Nadeem I believe he should be sending a PM to ALAN now.

    What flood parts were used to assemble this engine? All parts on that car were brand new parts. The engine is still sitting here, 100% assembled, just as it was 4 years ago.
