New doa 22re motor

Any ya folks ever buy a new doa motor, just bought the 150 hp motor & a used distributor from doa, got it in & installed, dist was bent & it chewed up cam gear & dist, called him & lefts many msgs & he would not call me back or try n help. Finally he answer & email & said he don't answer calls whens he's buisy , n said i didnt lube it enough & its my fault. I ordered anuther else where & installed it dry & it works fine. Was quoted 300$ freight for all w/core return. Then they hit my ccard 4 nuther 30$ freight & 110$ crate fee which will get used nother 50 times. Call'd um gin many times saying i'd like to talk about matters. Finally he answers an email saying stop by his shop in nc & we'll talk. Now he's saying its my responsibilty to get the core back, looks like another charge that was not in the original quote, anyone ever go thru this & know how to deal with this. Acting like cuz he's across the states he can just hammer ya.

what you cant read??

he is saying that doa screwed him over, and wants to know if anybody has any ideas on how to deal with it.

to the op, did you tell him that the dizzy he sent you was junk?
and thats why the motor is messed up?

I can't believe he is still in business you would think from all the negative post on all the different boards he would be hurting and the law suites would have bankrupted him , to the o.p. sorry to hear you are yet another victim of this unscrupulous business , maybe next time you will do some more home work and research before making a bad and costly decision like that again.

No kidding, in the limited time I have spent on this board in the past few years I have read nothing but negative posts about that guy at DOA
The owner sounds like a real d**k!
