^ melted Socal piston.

^ messed up valves, both on #2.
It also had stock injectors. My buddy hasn't gotten the bottom end apart so I'm not sure if it has rods but I would think so as it still had the Socal dampener and pushrods and Socal pistons.

Good luck on the tear down. There is a thread that has rods and alot if performance parts on here to a ebay link. That might be md-dmax. Hope there not the parts that a suppose to be in this motor.

I saw that, that's why I updated this thread. It would make sense for it to be the same guy but I'm not sure were he would have gotten all those other parts.

Oh lordy, lordy. I hope it's not another "Jeremy Flax" situation. Any one remember that gem? He sold busted stuff (not mentioned in the add), and just generaly just skipped out on paying for parts. I remember when some guys raided his shop and called me to ask if he still had anything of mine in there that I needed back. :woott: I have a list of folks that still owe me or generaly just flat out stole from me. It's a mentality I suppose and how some go through life. To bad.

Fortunatly for MD-dmax my friend doesn't feel like he got ripped off too bad because he got a nice truck for a decent price, he also had a official looking paper printed up my buddy had to sign saying he was buying it as is, (probably something his gfs dad hooked him up with) so I'm not sure the law could do much anyway if my buddy wanted to go that route. He has pretty much chalked it up to lessons learned and moved on....

That would have been the sign to not just walk away but move to a different continent on that deal.

Still sucks either way though

not really, i make anyone that buys vehicles from me sign a bill of sale stating what is wrong or what was explained to the new owner. its jsut to help protect me from those looking to make a quick buck, turn around and take me to court saying i never justified some little crap and i now owe them a motor cause they went for a joy ride through water or something. All in all, its still only a peice of paper and can only help so much in court. even with a signed BOS, id still be taking this guy to court. its pretty blaitent how misinformed you guys were and how hacked together that stuff was.
