Default WARNING:::: do not buy from "trd tc"

he sold me an LS head that was supposedly off his 99 ls with 70k miles that was in perfect shape. we pull it apart (picked it up at night and he handed me a bag of bolts ect, which was ok its getting rebuilt anyways) but we start putting it together and notice a broken rocker which nicked the cam, 2 bent valves, and then found out it was cracked.... the loser will not answer his phone to me now or answer my emails.... so buyers beware

Maybe he didn't know and when you started calling again and pming he got scared you were gonna kick his ass ... Either way sorry about your luck, hope it gets resolved one way or another!

as i said, at this point i would love to kick his little ass, unfortunatly i do not know where he lives. supposedly its in zepherhills somewhere, we met at a hess right off i75. I think were just going to mill the original head we had, I really cannot afford this.... the problem with the existing one is that it was over heated and warped it (its my systers 95 ls teg).

I am the same way. i have never screwed anyone over, not even on ebay . If there is a problem, they know it up front and get a good ass price because of it.... shit people get a good ass price half the time anyways.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
