I ended up buying and receiving this head from Neville. I've attempted to leave feedback, but something's gone wrong with the feedback system. I thought I'd put a post in here to give people a heads-up.

I received the built head in a few Corona boxes with the cams torqued down and valves extended [and unprotected]. Upon further inspection, I found that the incorrect cams were included in the head, and the clearances were dangerously out. Neville was initially responsive, stating that he would cover the costs of having the proper cams purchased and installed. After I'd had the work done, Neville stopped replying to my emails, sticking me with a $1200 bill. I've dropped him about a dozen emails, PMs, and a payment request. It's a shame; this is the first time I've ever been hosed by a forum purchase. Unfortunately recourse is difficult for me being overseas.

So tread lightly with this one in the future.

Shit mate

Guy must be hard up for money. Sad that people push their problems onto other people.

I've had mostly good experiences on the forums, but I think I have been lucky. It's the 1 in 50 bad transactions that stick out the most. Spending this much on gear I'd wanna fly there first too, but understand you're overseas in which case it's a risk you take

Hope you get it sorted. Was the other gear all there and legit?

Yeah, the rest of the gear was there. The shims were buggered though... tolerances were tight enough that on some valves I couldn't even get my thinnest feeler gauge in there. If I hadn't checked, I would've snapped the cams on first startup. 

Hopefully he ends up reaching out to me. If he needs time that's fine... it's just hard when somebody disappears on you and leaves you footing the bill.

I've bought probably a hundred items on web forums. Numerous cars, motors, bodywork, wheels, all manner of parts... you name it. And most of it internationally, given the nature of the cars I focus on. This is the first one that's bit me. Ah well. Hopefully I won't need to reach out to his bank.

Zero trader rating and only one post.......not a good start tbh.  And sympathy to you Brook......its always a hard call, to buy or not to buy - the extension of trust to a stranger.

Good luck with it, hope you get some satisfaction.  If you paid by Credit Card you can claim it back from your bank?

[MB38]

Mercifully I've got all his banking info, address, etcetera. There's a way to manage it, it's just not going to be fun.

[GTRdoctor32]

or really fun....depends which way you look at it

Have u spoken to management of SAU ? Perhaps they might be made aware if not already. Im sure all the people involved here will do their best to help you. Unfortunately a reminder to everybody to remain dilligent. Good luck man
