I got burned
beware of engine builder Tim Stefan in Carmichael Ca. He built an engine for a buddy that blew up on the first pass and wouldn't stand behind it. He had all the good stuff GRP, Crower, Ross. Just know that when dealing with him enter at your own risk.

Sorry to hear about the situation. It would be helpful if you have more info... such as the engine itself. Some of these motor debates also can come down to nitrous/application too. Help out the members here a little more; explain more details... ie; cu. in/race application Blown? Nitrous? Plug Read? etc... damage description, your opinion on what failed, etc... was there an ad # or was this sold off an independent shop? This way, it is all on the table & if the shop in question would like to defend/discuss this issue, it can be done w/ all the necessary info.

The poster does need more information and facts, because someones reputation is at stake. But whether it was him or his buddy, if someone did actually get burned it is best to be told. Believe it or not everybody uses the computer that get scammed.
