This motor went 10.70 on Alky and went 11 Teens on gas.Low runs.
If those items are not present then its misrepresentation; also considered fraud. If money changed hands across state lines, then I believe it could be a federal crime. I could easily confirm that if necessary.
Now if the seller claims that is what he was told when he bought the engine and he is relaying that information to a new buyer; guess what? Doesn't matter, the seller is making a represntation and the liability transfers to the seller. Thats just the way it is. The seller is open to litigation and punitive damages as well including legal fees.
Should the buyer have that motor professionally checked by a local machine shop, and have a certified notarized statement of the internal componets, and they do not match what was represented, the buyer will win the judgement. No doubt. Then the smart buyer will file papers to garnish wages.
However, it appears a settlement has been made in the form of bearings. Hardly seems to equate with the representation versus the actual, but a settlement is a settlement. If all parties agree case closed.
Now on to Scooter.
A standard approach to a full on attack is to create a diversion to divert attention. The attack on you is to draw attention away from the culpability and possible liability of the seller. If he can get everyone focused on the confrontation, then focus diverts from the misrepresentation. Ignore the attack and stick to the facts-
Read the "Art of War" when you can, its long but amazingly in sync with business dealing and handling strategies.
Scoot always keep the pressure on.
If the bearings are received as both parties agreed, then issue is resolved, equitability becomes a non-factor.
