Engines, motors
« on: Nov 18, 2005, 05:47:25 PM »
A word of caution to all who would buy from doa engines, DONT, They will screw you if they get a chance. We bought from them and got screwed. The engine came poorely packaged and concequently damaged. The damage was not visible through the packaging so we signed for it. This was a MISTAKE. Nither doa or conway (the shipper) were willing to accept any responsibility.
 The freeze plug at the back of the motor (22re) looked fine but leeked coolant after instalation. We called doa and they said tough SH!!!!!!!T. Also the engine has a terrible knock. This is lousy workmanship on the part of doa and a waste of good hard earned money on our part. A second hand junker from pick-n-pull would have been a better choice.
