well, you all can accept being lied to and people going back on their word. I will not and never will, nor will I join the ranks of those who do.

As stated, he would exchange the cover with no troubles initially. NO mention of head gaskets.

AFTER mentioning Head gaskets, he said no, not unless I bought one.

I am not working at present, I do not have 155.00 to spend on a new one at this time. I do have lots of time and can machine the raw part. Hell, I could make the new part and may well do so, sand casting isn't rocket science. I have done quite a bit of it. I do understand about porousity in castings and have had problems there myself, as many of us Novices have.

He indicated that he is disappointed that they are porous. He has had them cast elsewhere to rectify the problem and wanted mine back to send to the original foundry.

I understand that the guy is a banger icon, and I half expected blind devotion from his followers just like those who voted for the change that has given me this lovely vacation.

The guy lies to me, goes back on his word, I get flamed and tagged a " novice" for not accepting and embracing flawed parts. I didn't see that one coming, novice again , right?

I guess I could at this point go through my bona fides but that is a pointless exercise with this lynch mob.

Good day, I have had my say and response and will comment no more.
