San Jose engine parts kit rip off

[bananahamuck]

Anyone else get a engine kit from a place in San Jose ?? I feel i got ripped off .. So the story is,  i needed some L motor parts , like timing chains , sprockets , valves ,, for a bulldozer project i got going...  I talked to a old dude at a car show and he says he might have something.. Ok fast forward to about a week and a half ago ,  and i get a call saying your shits in the mail..

 

Then this shows up !!  

 

 

  Box arrived with a fucking hole in it >> didn't hear the mail-gender-neutral-person drop it off because was listening to Dr Dre on 11 ,, but my guess would he threw the fucker down and beat checks like Usain god damn Bolt  . 

 

 

So take to garage , to check this shit out. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok so at this point  i'm thinking ,, show me the way to san Jose 

 

 

Oh hell no.... sprockets weren't even same size ,, it's almost like these were junk parts they had found laying around or some shit!!

 

 

Oh ,,,, and i guess these are what would be considered the "gasket kit"  ,, ok 

 

 

At least there looks like i got a thermostat housing gasket ,, mkay 

 

 

 

 

 

ok,, Does that look like a complete engine kit to you ??  Cuz i'm pretty god dam skeptical at this point. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways,,,,,,  thanks John  you long dick Chinie mutherfucker 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually 

 

Parts are to make next years Ratsun-Powerland trophy ,, i made one this year but there was a technical glitch so no-one got to vote on it .. Big John became enamored so he has it in safe keeping till next year. 

 

gratuitous pics to follow ,, didn't get to put on treadmill and show tracks move but i'll update here with next one . 

 

anyways ,,, here we go 

 

 

 

Early smaller version , after showing my wife and sons ,, neighbors ,, passing middle aged adults on 20inch bicycles stealing peoples mail,,, i went with slightly bigger clamp. 

 

L motor chain shortened and gears

 

 

 

wifes hand holding for final clamp comparison.. 

 

ratchet straps are to be able to pull each side back and forth to adjust tension against table and you needed 4 as vice grip clamps just didn't give enough adjustment..

 

 

 

 

Wasn't sure if wanted clamp farther forward or not 

 

 

 

So then decided on larger size .

 

 

Undercarriage ,, like i said i wanted tracks to move 

 

 

 

 

added headlights 

 

 

 

 

 

Chain guide Blade fitment ,,, Block/plate  on rear axle is from 1970s stair stepper machine ,, haha 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

decided on this

And like i said tracks roll so you can give to kids and they could take out in dirt pile and play with it,,,  if they wanted..
