Well, all has worked in the end. And I got the unique distinction to meet someone from the forums "well, semi- in person" over skype. For the record, he is a great, stand-up guy, but without his permission I won't divulge his info. Hindsight being what it is, I probably shouldn't have posted about the trouble, just a bit excited I guess. I don't want to give someone the false impression that I would blackmail them or would use their online reputation against them as leverage. Those are worth more than just money nowadays. It also isn't very Marine like to participate in that activity, and I just wanted to make that perfectly clear, I am an ambassador to everyones idea of an American and I represent the best our country has to offer, it's a big responsibility and not one I take lightly. All of that out of the way, anyone have an aaz head for sale? No cracks this time

I'm not saying to trash the guy's rep.. He may not have known it was cracked if you couldn't see them due to the gunk on the head. I've sold things I though were useable and it turned out they weren't.. It happens.. Talk to him.. If he opts to do nothing, fine, let it at that.. But if he offers to help make it right, all the better.. Then you can let it be known what an extraordinary good kind of guy he is...
Personally I like to know if I sold something that was less than what I advertised it as... When I did alot of selling on ebay I think I annoyed some people with my followups on a sale.. But at least I knew what to look for on the next similar item if I sold something that wasn't up to par...

I know that rabbitonroids will be happy to learn this as I am flabbergasted, I have found aaz heads on ebay germany even complete engines for not that much, just that my german is a bit rusty "will have to go to the library and borrow muzzy" The prices on some look really good now if I could only read german

ebay canada is flooded with the prothe heads from mexico and china. there have got to be junk yards full of these things if only I lived in Canada

I've never seen one in a junkyard up here, and I keep a pretty close watch on the classifieds. When they do come up, they're never cheap.

I've seen a few here at the scrapyards. I thought about a 1.9 head but then i heard it can be harder to start and once the cold hits, that's no good for me.

On the east coast you find MK3's in scrap yards alot because they rot out. But as for a diesel that are rare finds. I find them in people's back yards.

Opposite problem out here. Lots for sale with decent bodies, but high mileage, usually for a fairly high price too.

Looking to make a vnt17/22 hybrid so I'm also on the lookout for the necessary parts for that as well. I'm really good at searching for stuff just that no one is selling what I need right now "my luck it will be for sale when I go to afghan in oct."
thanks guys,
Kevin
