Remember, Jesus and Jesus Jr. are at the races today. I'm sure Jr. will pm you back when he gets back home.

I speak to Jesus on an almost daily basis so I know he answers the phone. My experience with him is nothing like yours at all which causes me to question your story.

But what happened to this Rolo guy? Did you ever speak with him as he is the guy you paid?

I'm going to see Jesus on Tuesday and will try to learn more of the story.

Yup , if you see my profile you will see a picture of the family, so I am no bystander who is trying to paint you black. I am simply telling you something went wrong and you are calling out names and it sucks because KILO sr doesnt even know whats going on.

Me and Kilo jr where even drooling all over you car bro so I know for sure Kilo didnt do you wrong . Like i said no need to get frustrated this thread was opened for no reason .

I can understand if it was a shop that was opened last week or has a bad rep , but no we are talking about a humble ,honest and one of the greates engine builders of time now and you know it. Why open a thread like this to burn him. You even know he is not good with computers yet you open a drama page where he cant tell his side of the story. Kilo jr has nothing to do with his dads business so it isnt fair that he has to be called out.

I requested from the senior mod to close thread until you and kilo sr touch bases with each other. I dont see why theres should be a thread like this opened if there are
1- unanswered questions
2- money
3- broken parts

And you havent even spoke to the man.
And the reason they arent answering the phones is because they are at the races in west palm beach. So give them a voicmail or something. Deal with this in a professional manner and not this name calling crap.


Its like me buying a ice cream cone from you and i go tell the world you sold me a stale ice cream cone and the vanilla tasted bad without even consulting with you who sold me the ice cream.

rolo has never contacted me back , i have tried numerous occasions calling him , but to no luck
My friend however (the one he screwed up his supra engine ) did bump into him at a drag event (cant recall wich) and he confronted him he said something like sorry this sorry that crap but we still ended up screwed , and like i said being a non-US resident there is little chance we/i could do
Also david just remember all this happened before you met jesus ,if youre dates are correct
so i knew him before you did
Alex
i am sorry but i dont see a reason to close the thread until this is resolved (there is still freedom of speech right ?), i am trying to handle this in decent manner , i wasnt going to make a big deal out of this , because it was some time ago , and i already rebuilt my own engine
But since this has turned into a big issue and my word is being questioned , i guess we will have to get to the bottom of this , i am no liar (i know nobody said i am but you are all questioning me so its basically the same thing).
i know name calling might be unprofessional , but remember you dont know who i am either , you all keep saying that kilo is a nice guy and honorable guy etc , i said that too , because i know him
But how do you know i am not a nice honorable guy etc etc , so its unfair to judge if you only know one person ,of course everybody`s oppinion will be biased
Now i have to get this solved because my word is being questioned , again after being so long on this forum and having shared so much ,its just depressing to me which just saddens me alot
All along when i am doing my build i post pictures to share everything , everybody PM`s me for questions and to ask how i did this and how i did that even chris , god rest his soul , awesome guy , we used to AIM back and forth sometimes
now suddenly i am the bad guy ,seriously ...just depressing
anyways i will follow up on this, because its time this thing got solved

You guys are all fooling yourself. He said enough for me to understand wat really went on. I don't even have to say, it's obvious. Felix u sound like a good guy with some money and those are the kind of people that gets ripped off the most. U should be a little more careful about who u trust, and bullit proof yourself from situations that can lead to this.

Again this ^^^^^^^ is what we are trying to avoid please keep your comments to your self if you dont know the situation or the key players.

Felix if i came off as attacking you i apoligize, but i take it to offense when YOU made up a thread on someone without consulting with them first.

DID YOU CALL KILO AND TALKED TO HIM? NO!!!

If there was something that wasnt done to your expectations WHY DID YOU TAKE YOUR STUFF!!!

Finally if you know KILO then you know that if something went bad and you asked him he will take care of you without questions asked. But here we have a thread of someone acussing a "shop" for a bad engine.

Just between me and you when your car showed up didnt it had a blown engine?
Could it be that you could of possibly blown your own engine?
Did you do a proper break-in?
Do you know what boost levels were been used when your car was tuned?
Did your car have problems while in the process of tunning?

I can go on and on, but theres no point.................TALK TO THE MAN YOURSELF AND STOP MAKING EVERYONE THING SOMEONE DID SOMETHING until all cards are out on the table.

Please
everyone , this thing got blown way out of proportion , and people still seem to not even understand what i am complaining about
Alex , no hard feelings ,i am not complaining about a blown engine
i understand youre frustration and all because kilo is youre friend and all , but please read the posts before , posting
the complaint was that when i opened the engine i did not find in it what i was promised
after having talked to him in person and on the phone
and just as a reminder i am overseas , once that engine is here , and i payed freight and import duties , its here and is probably not going back , plus i do not posses x-ray eyes to see trough a closed engine to see inside
Gordon
Please, no need to get personal , you keep saying youre a seniour member etc , act like one , you ought to know better
and , altough i cannot believe i am going to say this but , i agree with gordon on the posting fact
I have already started to talk to kilito on this matter to see if we can get to the bottom of this
I kindly request everyone to keep there comments to themself for a little while
Until the padillas have had a chance to speak properly
Thank you for youre comments both good and bad , i will try to report with more concrete data

I know a easy fix to this going back and forth, schedule a time to phone SR. to talk it over and see where it goes.
