Here Is The Auction Link...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

the seller ended the auction early and gave it to me for 300, i really needed a head so i told him i need proof that JG really ported it, so he sent me this pic in and email...



here the head on arrival, no sign of a stamp!!!










the seller lagged on shipping so i filed a 'item not recieved' claim through paypal so now paypal says i can't refile a 'item not as described' claim so i am screwed! any suggestions?

 

dang man, sorry about the loss. send that head out to get a port job fix-up

 

do you happen to have this guys address?

 

it might be in the details of the paypal transaction.

 

yup...scammers suck

 

he has 14 feedback - i buy from no one with less than 50

 

You said that you reported through paypal. Is that the same as through ebay?

Because ebay has a their own little report system as well, so you can report scammers.

It may not do much but I would look into it for sure.

You can try and request his or her contact info

That is if they gave ebay their correct info. It has worked for me a couple times.

 

hold on...so a built JG head has to be stamped to prove the job was ported/polished?

besides that you can just easily tell by the work...

 

where is the stamp located

 

My JG head look nothing like that, you can tell from the ebay pics that it wasn't a JG head. Not to be a dick but you should have known better....no jg stamps, shitty pics and it only cost 350 come man.

 

just got the port job touched up at rnr a local machine shop, they said it wasn't too bad they just cleaned it up a little and did a semi resurfacing.

 

i ahve seen JG heads go for as cheap as $150 locally. and every single one of them has teh JG stamp on it.

 

that head on ebay doesnt even look ported.

 

if you payed through paypal with a credit card call the credit card company and reverse the charges...if it pulled the money from your bank account contact your bank and have them reverse the charges....i know this because ive had to do this myself

 

WHoever ported that head did so with the valve guides installed.
