Stay away from this engine.I agreed a price for it 8 months ago and when i tried to arrange a pick up was told to send the money and it would be delivered.I did not agree to this as i wanted to see it in the flesh as the price i agreed seemed to good to be true.It is a scam and when i reported it to ebay it was removed.It appeared a week later under different user name and different location.When i sent him an email to tell him exactly what i thought ov him i received loads ov abuse.I told him i would meet with him so he could try and abuse me to my face but he didnt reply.

I can't understand the mentality of someone wanting to meet again the scammer so he "can abuse me to my face", people need a reality check imo, you think if he turned up he'd be empty handed ?, or have his friend crow bar or 5 mates with him, is it worth it never to see your family again after he's killed you, beat the shit out of you, the only person annoying you is you.
Life's too short I've been there so know from experience also had 3 guys trying to adjust my head all taller(6 foot plus) than I, all acting the twat all beat up by a 5' 1" woman I was with, she then gave them each a business card for her womans self defence classes, these chinese woman sure do start young with martial arts.
