That sucks for sure.


You could pick up a dale motor. Talk to Happyboy on here.

The thing that sucks the most is I had a C&C ported head that was matched to a 50mm throttle body and an engine with the motard gear set that all went to Wade. Does anyone live in the Torrance area that could get my stuff, I am willing to pay.

Polyester Pig lives near him, and has worked with him in the past, but I cannot speak for him... (He is usually on cannondaler.com)

Polyesterpig is a stand up guy you may need to see what he can do.

thats just totally BS,thats why a lot of people are leary about sending stuff out to have done..myself included.Theres nothing quicker to leave a sour taste in ones mouth than bad or slow service.i cant even fathom being ripped off a motor,i would just lose it.Man i hope you get your stuff back.For me if i cant do it,then i dont need it,fortunately bores and crank work i can have done locally without sending across the country.

He talk me into buying a 490 stroker and I was going to do it myself then, he call and said because it was his first one he should be the one to install it in case there were any snags and he would only charge me $80 so he got my money and my motor.

There are people on the Dale forums you do NOT deal with, unless you live down the street from them. No one seems to want to call them out or ban them, but if you read enough you will see the problems....

If all else fails, give me his address and I'll drive up and pay him a visit.
