I told him i'd buy an engine, he never really followed up to my satisfaction and i didn't send him the money. He never tried to contact me after that, asking what was up.
another guy tried to arrange a friend that was in the area to inspect the engines, lots of evasion on letting someone inspect them in person. edit- i believe i was thinking of yakdriver, see below
would have been nice to buy an engine from him for the money, but I like to get what i'm buying in the end.
