RE: Bent Crankshaft
I have acquired 3 engines and various parts for others through RCU exclusively. (gotten screwed on the bay more than once) I got my engines from guys I've seen post in the forums and I've gotten what I expected. I think the younger guys tend to be unrealistic and greedy and are willing to fib a little to make a sale. Now I am not saying all younger guys are dishonest or greedy, but I can tell from some sales I've tried making that didn't go through because they thought they had a gold mine in a box or the item wasn't as described and the seller back pedaled. (most recent was a Como .51 ring)
It's hard to judge a user by a profile or mere correspondence. I try to do a little homework on a seller I havent seen post in the forums before bidding on something.
Hope the seller does what's right. Good luck.
