Self proclaimed world class Turbo engine builder was outclassed by a ROOKIE.

TUFBUICK:
Many of you know the story of my engine horror show with North Carolinas so called Turbo Jesus. I mistakably posted the story on that other B.S. turbo site and was swiftly reamed by his loyal brand of nut huggers. He built me an everything "NEW" short block that is a piece of shit, my new Gessler heads were on the motor. After going back and forth with this idiot he was pissed that I didn't pay him for looking for a noise he created. He tried to blame me after the motor was back at his shop "TWICE" with no repair to the noise. The motor was in and out of this car twice for him to fix. He checked the bearings and went no further. He also said to bring the whole car to him and he would fix it, B.S.. This money grabber was so pissed about what he though I owed him for looking for "HIS" noise, that I could smell a mechanics lien a mile away on my vehicle in his shop. This is one arrogant old coot that has zero customer satisfaction on his mind. Bring my car to him to fix, you got two try's and at this point he couldn't tie my shoe as far as I'm concerned.

He installed a bad set of lifters and from other things I discovered they were probably my old ones as they did not appear on my bill.
I found that problem myself, a freaken Rookie ! My mechanic installed a new set of lifters and that noise was gone.

Next scenario was a horrible noise that showed its head when I was just driving local, WHAM, WTF ! Shut this damn thing down and called a flat bed to tow it to my house. (This motor took over a year of B.S. and back and forth with this clown and has under 150 miles on it). In discussed this car sat on my lift for 3 months, I covered it and didn't even want to look at it.

I am not a mechanic but after listening to the noise coming from behind my timing cover I decided to take a look and this is what I found:
1- The cam button spring broke sending the button and spring into my gears and chain.
2- That broke my tensioner bolt off and the tensioner and tensioner spring took a ride on my gears and my "DOUBLE ROLLER CHAIN". **
 ** Doesn't the whole Turbo World know that you don't use a tensioner on a Double Roller Chain ! ! !
3- The chain was my old ass sloppy chain that this clown thought no one would ever discover, so he put a tensioner to quiet it down. **
** He was told to replace "ANY" worn out parts on the rebuild.
4- I had to replace.....Ti ming Chain and Gears, Cam Button and Spring, "NEW" Front Cover, (mine was galled and cracked), "NEW" Oil Pump, Cam Sensor Gear, and the Crank Sensor bracket was cracked because someone tightened it to much. Fortunately all these loose parts would up between the front main cap and the cover. I shut this thing down so fast that the oil was in good shape.

Used parts and shoddy workmanship seems to be his M.O.! And a Tensioner on a Double  Roller Chain......SHA ME ON YOU ! ! !
Maybe you thought you were pulling the wool over my eyes but I have photos, videos and all the bills for everything I had to buy to fix what "HE" F'ed up !

So......The Turbo Jesus couldn't find what he F'ed up (or he didn't give a shit) only wanted more money. Well the ROOKIE FIXED ALL (at my additional expense) and now it finally runs perfect. My first time wrenching on this G.N. and I'm the original owner. Now who owes who money "TURBO JESUS" ! ! ! You can K.M.A. ! ! !

Grumpy:
Why drag it over here ? You have beaten it to death already on other sites. Whats the point ? Pity show ? :chin:

TUFBUICK:
If you had your motor coming apart after the best turbo car rebuilder F'ed it up would you be happy. I'm not looking for any sympathy, I just want everyone to know how he doesn't give a shit about this situation. Maybe you like getting screwed out of thousands of dollars, I sure as hell don't. So what I've illustrated here is O.K. in your book. Sure as hell ain't O.K. in my book ! Have you installed a tensioner on your double roller chain lately, that's O.K. with you to I guess.

I've had 5 motors, 3 trannies and two rears rebuilt over the years I've owned this car and never had such B.S. and run around such as this.
If I had a problem they stepped to the plate and made it right on their dime. Not the case here !

This is the only Buick site I ever look at.  If anything, FB is the biggest show in town :D  I'm glad to see the Buick world continues it's 30 year old roller coaster ride.


I often wonder if the other, larger brands are filled with the same type of guys that attempt to dominate the Chevy and Ford worlds. 


What amazes me is that in the Buick world, there are guys with virtually no history in the car business that suddenly emerge as gurus that people who are not experienced car guys suddenly kowtow to.  Dumb and Dumber.  Someone should make a movie....
