You only questioned it when i told you that Baldy Butch PM`d me on here & told me he would fully rebuild it for 1,300 quid
Okay i could of had it done with him, but knew my friend would do it cheaper
& thats what i told you.
I had the car 9 weeks & it was parked up for bloody 6 of them due to no fault of mine.
Yes ive just sold the car, but as you stated you dont want to know my personal curcumstances, but thats wgere the bulk of the money has gone

so your mate never ever explained what he had fitted and why something had broken?surely you must have been curious?
you rang me and told me about the valves/piston issue-i offered you £250 first and then you came back to me and said you wanted more-your mrs works for a solicitors and the solicitor had told you they would take me to court for you and told you to get 3 expensive quotes for engine rebuilds.that is what you fired at me which was why rather than it get dirty i offered you £500-never any admission of guilt.it was a gesture.
this is the first i have heard of butch quoting the job.
surely if i sold you a broken car it would not have got you home to wrexham from here.
I GAVE YOU £500 TOWARDS AN ENGINE REBUILD AND IT HAS NOT BEEN DONE.WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.THAT IS THE SIMPLE FACT

How did you drop the price to accomodate me 
Ian had that car for under 6k, he did the work on it not you < but you added 400 quid to price 6395.00
Id payed 5400 for the Saph, changed the Cambelt ,tensioner, New expansion tank, stripped the inlet & fitted new Cometic gaskets, all this cost me 300.00
I even bought std springs for it as i informed you that the car was too low, did i not. I then give you 800.00 Cash towards the 3door,
So dont you dare say you dropped the price to accomodate me.
Ive still got your add off e-bay stating this is on of the nicests Saphs you seen in years.
Dont make it out you done me any favours you had a bloody good car off me & a wad of cash
Thats it, no more post what you fucking like, but you never did me any favours, you bit my hand off when you saw my Saph & you fucking know it MATE

im sure if i hadnt have offered you the £500 you would have aired it on here.
and why are you going on about prices of the cars now.i sold it for what wanted for it to both you and ian
when i sold it to ian it had no mot
when i sold it to you it had an mot and other bits done by ian
you chose to buy the fuckin car-i told you i wanted £1000 and your car-you said you didnt have the money so i let you have iot for £800 and your car-if your sapphire was so good why didnt you fuckin keep it....because you wanted the 3 door!
after what you have just pm'd me i know youre not going to give me any of my money back-i certainly dont want £1 per week!
you know what you did was morally wrong-its been shown on here that people think you are wrong-you gave your side and i gave mine.
i have asked you to give me £250 back out of the money you have just got from the sale of the car-you have said no.
im a firm believer in the saying"what comes around-goes around"
just glad im not the crazy idiot i used to be any more

i have spent way too long on here and got fuck all done today.
thanks to evryone for their opinions and to macker for telling his side of things.
i know i havent disgraced myself and have done nothing wrong.i am pissed that i doubt i will see a penny back for my troubles but thats life.
another lesson learned!
i genuinely feel for macker as he has had a shit time by the sound of things and it sounds like it may get worse.but his circumstances were not my fault. i had to get it off my chest-my mrs said just forget about it,but it was eating me inside-i had done a good deed and in my eyes had been shit on-maybe not intentionally but shit on nevertheless.
had i known i was only paying for a head gasket or maybe even 2 valves i would have done the job myself
this is where i get annoyed!

what pisses me off this thread makes me out that i cant rebuild engines properley
that head was torqued down correctly and in the correct sequence
useing new bolts and new grp A headgasket
i did replace the leads and dizzy cap and rotar arm at the same time
and car run mint and hit 140 no problem down the m6 with no missfire ,no overheating no noises
yes the car did suffer from piston slap which jsy told me about before i bought it off him ,and i beleive he told you the same aswell
cant understand why if the car was driven normal the valves hit
that i cant get my head round
as the engineer who skimmed the head said it was fine and only took 2 though off it just too clean the surface up

ian,i think we need to see what his mate comes back with as macker doesnt seem to have a clue what was wrong with it now.i personally dont think the valve/piston issue originally claimed caused the fault.there is something amiss somewhere.
i cannot see how suddenly 2 valves can hit a piston and the car break down.if that is the case what caused the valve to hit the head????
if only the valves were replaced why hasnt it happened again.it doesnt make sense.if the cam had snapped or the timing belt slipped then i can understand it-but none of this has happened.
its very confusing now and i wish i hadnt been moving house and gone to see the car when it was broken as i could have answered many of my own questions.
unfortunately i dont think we will ever get to the bottom of this completely

On a totaly Impartial, not getting involved in who's right/wrong stance,
From a number of YB engines I have stripped down and looked at, especially the older 2WD engines, valve contact with pistons is a fairly common occurance, especially when heads have seen a bit of skimming, as this reduces the already fairly close valve to piston gap., Especially on a std engine. Cosworth don't reccomend re-using a head under 138.6mm depth, remembering a starting depth is 139mm. Loads of cars have heads under this , and most probably get away with it if they are not revved to 7500RPM or are low comp built.
Quite often you see little half moons where the valves have kissed the pistons and left an impression, but not actually bent the valve.
This damage might have been seen on removing the head an assumed to be a problem, BUT if the head was removed for this problem, there must have been a leak down test and a compression test carried out to diagnose the fault? A common sign on very slightly bent valves is perfect running until the car is under load and being revved, and the valves don't quite seal %100 and cause a misfire not unlike a ignition style misfire......
As said, I know NOTHING about the specfics in this instance just trying to find out what might have happened mechanicaly

I feel that they took the head of and thought that the small marks in the pistons was serious , and after finding out it isnt they simply just refitted the head

i'm not getting into who's right or wrong either, but from what i see.
Jay is a trader who has a very very good name in the north west for dealing in top quality cars, my friend dealt him on a saphire cosworth about a month ago and couldent of asked for better service and the car was top quality. never heard of jay selling a bad car or ripping anybody off. he is always at the RS meet of a wednesday and is a genuine petrol head from what i can gather and not a scammer or a money grabber.
Once that car left jay's garage it wasnt his problem IMO, jsut a quick question.
If jay used your sapphire that you traded in and he had similar problems that you supposedly had with the 3 door would you have given jay 500 quid towards the work?

ok no one can say who is right or wrong on this thread just reading things as no one other than Jay and Steve know the truth....but from reading the post i think you owe Jay some money steve...and imo he shouldnt have even handed any over anyways...
I was in this sort of position with my bike last year and i know how upsetting and maddening it can be.

[quote="rs nuts"]what pisses me off this thread makes me out that i cant rebuild engines properley
Ian mate,
Im not having a go at you. Obviously you had encountered problems after buying the car & sorted it.
When you bought the car did you check the history?. I never but the new owner did as he wanted to find out more about the Cat D issue.
In the paperwork was a small clear folder with all the tax discs. Amongst that was a breakbown invoice from around 2004 i think.
The car had had problems then & headgasket & skim was on that invoice & it stated a running fault.
What im getting at is wheather this was an ongoing problem, as i dont know.
Appologies to you if this thread makes out that you feel as if its directed at you. Its not mate.
JAY,
As to you stating you not had a reply yet!!!!!
You know why ive not replied. You posted me yesterday & my wife replied to you, informed you where id gone & then was working nights?
Did she not.
Ive just got up now & im now responding to your reply.
I will forward you 200.00 to end this dispute once & for all.
Im not happy as much as you Jay & im tired of people on here voicing there opinions & making me out to be a TWAT.
Im a GENUINE RS enthusiast & my past cars show this. All the cars ive sold ive NOT had any complaints about.
Could you please forward me your full home postal address & i will forward cheque for 200.00 recorded delivery at the end of the week.
Please can this be the end of it now.

steve,i know there was never going to be a happy solution to all this,but i think the amount i have asked for is a very fair reflection on what eventually happened with the car.
when you had the problem with the car i did what i did as a gesture
i appreciate very much what you are prepared to do to sort out the situation between us-i know youre having a shit time(more than most other people know),and its a bad time for me to have done this but i hope you can also see my side of the argument.
we are both grown men and hope we are both mature enough to draw a line under this now.
good luck with the impending court case
jay
ps-ill pm you my address now

Please can this be the end of it now.
Steve
i was promised that the cheque for £200 would be posted last thursday.i have left it a week to give him a chance aqnd still have not received it.i have sent him a couple of pm's enquiring where it is but have had no reply.
now im not going to turn up at his door demanding what is owed to me,but i do want what was offered to me on here in front of everyone as a once and for all settlement of this matter.
if you read this macker and think im out of order airing this again-just answer your pm's and get that money to me.

Thanks again Jay for posting this again.Ive got in touch with you to explain ive been away until today due to family reasons.
Im sorry ive not sent it yet by my family comes 1st. I gave you my word i would pay you this money.
You PM`d me Yesterday & Wednseday, but i was away
Like you said to me, i DO NOT have to pay, but as a gesture i will.
So i WILL honour my word & send you payment
Yet again you have not give me a chance to explain or sort out.
You will recieve your payment next week ok mate.
Now can you let this drop, as i dont need this shit.
You are totally out of order constantly posting this without giving me a chance to explain...Obvious you got nothing better to do than cause shit. Didnt realise you were more desperate than me for the cash!!!!!
CAN A MODERATOR PLEASE NOW DELETE THIS, AS ITS GETTING TO BE A PERSONAL VENDETTA IN MY OPINION...............

ive sent you a pm
its not a vendetta at all macker,you just dont like peoples opinion on this matter as most of it says youre wrong and i am right to request some money back.
if you had sent the cheque when you said you would then we wouldnt be here now.if you had pm'd me and said"ive got a family crisis and will send you payment on xyz date" then that would have been fine.the fact is as far as i knew you had just chosen not to pay me,and hadnt contacted me.
with regards to me need ing the money-well i havent got it to throw away,but its the principle not the amount thats the issue.
fact is i sent you a pm on 2 occasions before posting on this post again to give you chance to reply.i dont think im out of order AND TRUST ME I HAVE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO THAN WASTE MY TIME CHASING YOU FOR £200.
you have given me your word you will pay and ill hold you to it.......

Lets just say i didnt contact you, as i had more important things to worry about. If you really needed to contact me, you could of got my No off the guy who bought the car who was at your meet Anyway the Gesture payment has been sent this morning to your home address.
I now hope this has put an end to this fiasco.
Also Jay, im not bothered what peoples opinions have been on here. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. What pissed me off you wern`t prepared to sort this out ammicably from the begining.
As far as i was concerned it should have never been aired on here in the 1st place.
Whats done is done. This has been a good learning curve & next time im after a Cosworth i will buy off a repuitable dealer with a good proven record.
Just so i know what im getting for my money.
Cheers

i can understand his sour grapes and dont expect to be dealing with him again for both our sakes.
but my advice to you in the future is dont buy what was in reality a lower end of the scale car, if you expect it to be a top end car.paul north yorks has got a nice one for £8500! but dont ask him for a warranty either
you get what you pay for.........
the new owner of the 3 door didnt want to get involved in our issues so was reluctant to give me your number macker.
thank you for posting me the cheque and as soon as it clears i will ask a mod to remove this post completely.
