Rebuilds, Central Florida?

you think its a good idea to slam someone that is working on your car?
thats a bad way to go around doing things. I would have no motivation to work on your car, since it seems to me you would be unhappy no matter what.
You had a motor rebuilt because it ate a "apex seal" right? then that rebuilt overheated
It is in your posts kabooski found of yours. No one forced you to haul your car half way down the state, and a second time to boot!.

Oh, so I should have paid him, which I did, and not had my car in a running state? That was the most ignorant comment made on this thread yet. Of course I had to take it back to him. Either that or sue him for the money back, but I thought I would give him his second chance before going that route.
As far as slamming anyone, I am not. I am simply posting my experience with him so far. He could try to turn it around, as I will post that he did a great job IF he does a great job. I am only here journaling my experience with him, step by step. So you thinking that I am "slamming" him just shows that he is doing something wrong.

Guessing by the number of post you have you have either been ill informed or just taking a SWAG at why coolant seals go bad. They fail without over heating it. When over heated "badly" the housings or plates can warp and then a rebuild will require part replacement.

Once again I am an satisfied Fuego Racing customer. Jose and Mickey (his assistant) have been staying at the shop til the wee hours to get my car running. For those that don't know, I crashed my old FD and I bought a shell to swap everything into it. This time around I had them port and pin the motor, and go with a completely new set up. As of today, the car runs beautifully and I can't wait til I hit the streets with an FD again

I can't talk to Mickey, he doesn't know English and I don't know Spanish.
