Thumbs up heidihi = Ben Arey

well let me start off by saying outstanding guy!!! I purchased he engine from him and it arrived last night. picked it up and it looked great. Black and silver sprayed. Ben said it was street ported and rebuilt but it had been sitting for about 13 months. he assured me it should be fine. Well when i picked it up i took it straight to T & R. Tony and his guy broke it down and long and behold it was rebuilt and ported. Excellent, first rotor and housing were good to go. Some rust on the rotor but no big deal. Second housing good to go, second rotor now, no good! the Apex seals were literally stuck inside the rotor. So now were like hmm. Looked at the first rotors apex seals and there was rust on them. Not good because thats probably what happened to the second rotor only worst. So i snapped some pictures and then called ben and told him that there was no way this motor would have ran if i didnt open it up. I explained everything to me and he refunded me $200 so i can get some new seals and springs from Rotary aviation. Now thats a good guy!! A+++

Outstanding seller and great guy in my book. Trsut this guy to do the right thing.
