talk to your lawyer, take him to small claims court you will win and get your money back. i'm surprised you haven't already.
buyer beware, if seller makes false claims he is liable in the court house and will lose big. time for lawyers to get involved. teth air should be making some sort of restitution. he sold it, made false claims he will lose.
is that the truth?
if a seller makes a false claim he is liable in canada?

Been busy with work and after working all day turning wrenches the last thing i want to do when i get home, is turn wrenches on some blown up piece of ch!t block. Its actually still sitting in the garage where i took it out 2 weeks ago... Your more than welcome to come up to Edmonton and take it apart for me, Chris... I did drive down to Calgary to pick up your piece of ch!t.
Pretty much.. flabbajabba.
I'm curious why you highlighted what i said before..
you work for the government can't be that busy I too am a mechanic and if this happened to me that thing would have been tore down before i started shooting off at the mouth so post some pictures and make me eat my words.
First off, the main reason i posted this up.. was and i say again.. to remind everyone "BUYER BEWARE"!
Did he know about the leaky exhaust gasket? Did he know about the torn carb boot? These are only questions that Chris can answer. Sooo once again, BUYER BEWARE!
With the motor out of the sled, its a quick teardown with the right tools. 1/2 hr is probably not too far off base depending on your ability, I've taken down a few of these...LOL A few hrs of my time is easily worth the price of a new shortblock.
We all get it, and we all feel for ya man, nothing sucks more than a busted sled. The point some of us are trying to make is that you came on S&M to warn us "buyer beware" and tell your story, however you can't prove jack without backing up your story (if someone "scammed" me for a motor in a sled, you damn well better believe I'd be making sure I supported my position as much as possible).
To me, its starting to look more like "seller beware" until you can prove otherwise.
I just read the 16 pages; every last post!
Here's my problem after this read.
I have an 08XPX154ES that was brand new to me. It has all the recalls done. The clutch ramps, rollers and spring redone each season. A MBRP can, JC's Custom vents, Ralph's shaved head (just for pump gas), scratchers, spare gas tank.
The compression is good at 150# using ES. It has 3200 miles on it and still is running strong. Ball park figure is $6500.
The question, how doo I prepare myself? Doo I pull the motor and actually tear it apart to check it or is it just "as is, where is" and run the risk of another 16 pages.
Advice please......fs

however what goes around comes around and the internet makes the world very small, and a reputation will follow you everywhere - be it good or bad.
Whats the point in tearing it down? I dont see one. If the CAUSE has already been determined, tearing it apart just to see the damage really accomplishes nothing, and leaves you with a mess of parts to put back together before you can send it to BRP.
