There's a system in place that automatically checks for this.
Also, it's not the best idea to trust a new member with minimal posts and zero feedback..... read: still has to prove credibility.

Who am I supposed to apologize to? Did I offend a mod in someway? If I hurt your feelings - I sincerely apologize.
I was stirring the pot to try and get mods to take action... I'm sure they would have without my banter - but I don't think I negatively effected this thread at all. If I did - again - I apologize... but I feel I concisely addressed the issues and picked apart the sellers logic.
Most of all, I'm glad lukes received SOMETHING for his money... it's just a bummer he didn't actually get what he paid for. I did however offer to help him get anything from the states shipped over.

I'm not sure if you're purposely playing dumb or not..... did you read your last post?
Your post with the ostrich picture speaks for itself. It's inflammatory and offensive. We don't need you to stir any pots to do our job. It's not about hurting feelings, this is the internet. It's about being constructive and helpful (like your earlier posts), vs posting B.S. that's not helpful in any way.
The mods get paid exactly $0.00 to perform our duties here, and in the end any internet transaction is buyer beware. We do the best we can under the circumstances. Community support is appreciated, ball breaking is not.
Make sense?

The ostrich isn't you. The ostrich is the seller... and to defend ostrich's in general, there's nothing inflammatory or offensive about them as a species - if ostrich's start asking for apologies, that's on you.
Bottom line: It was 19 days without any word from the mods. lukes posted, I posted and it got some attention. Again, I'm sure mods would have stepped up eventually - but the result was the same and that's all that matters.
Again, I'm sorry you felt offended and inflamed being compared to an ostrich. Again, that wasn't meant to be you.
Oh ****... look what you did now. I'm outta here.

Watch who you do business with
When japan2la sold me a bad engine many moons ago and started an epic thread about me etc.... I received a whopping 300 dollar settlement LOL. He then went on to rip other people off for years while also providing good service to others etc... and eventually crashed and burned
Some sellers are good, other sellers are decent and some are just bad all the time
Pick your poison. I rarely buy from anyone but friends or well known sellers
It's not the forums job to protect you that's your job. Be thankful they are willing to help out when things go bad.

I agree with Under PSI about the ostrich theory.

Alright,
Now sorry to bring up what was thought to be dead.
Upon dissassembly of the sump it was found the main shafts key way is chipped ....
Now the chip itself is no where to be seen , leading me to believe the dry sump originally failed and was then opened, cleaned and put together ready for sale .
If anyone can help on where to source this part , would be greatly appreciated !

Just found out from Mazdatrix this is also the old design of shaft ,
The Shaft IS available $188.13 (and does not matter if it is the larger pump gear 20B or 13B pump)
BUT they changed the design.
The shaft now has a taper somewhere, I think at the threaded end (no, nobody has a picture, but I remember this from last time).
THEREFORE you need the “new” gear to go with the “new” shaft for a paltry $434.19 MORE.
