Well, just my 2 cents, but this would be a reason for me not to SELL a stroker kit to just anyone... IMHO if you can't install a stroker motor, you have no business buying one. Most oil pumps that I've seen fail fail by seizing or leaking oil all over the place. Your situation sounds like someone didn't prime the pump, something rather common. I don't know the person you bought it from but I can totally understand his actions. If you bought something from a vendor, said it didn't work, and you sent it back and it did, they would at least charge you for shipping... This forum appears to be full of prima donnas who spend their time installing HK$ stickers to their rear wing while never actually touching a wrench.

First off all if you read the thread in its entirety, you would see:
My reply:
If you want to post it on EvoM ...go ahead! I'm finished with the back and forth emails..."it works-no it doesnt-it works - no it doesnt" The pump was the reason there was no oil pressure = it doesnt work...of course if you can turn it with a drill it'll pump some oil. Did you put it on an engine and crank it to see if it creates the pressure needed?
But anyways send me your paypal address I'll send you the shipping, so you can return the pump.
Second if you read again... the block was shipped to the local perfomance shop for install...
cmon DrSmile if youre going to post something read first before you make assumptions

Especially since he was going to pay for the shipping.

This is the same story my friend from Tampa told me about this guy. He does shady things. I would STAY AWAY like the plague form anything he sells. I have read some stories from him on the local tampabaydsm board. Ask around beofre you spend 3k on a used motor. Who did the machine work on it? Where you provided receipts on the machine work done? I hope so
