And best if she keeps out...
Like I said I understand the inclination, but I don't agree that it's right. Raydar's wife didn't post here, but BV brought her up. Dragging his private family issues into this isn't appropriate. I can't speak for everyone else, but it's none of our business what happens between Dean and his relatives. If they're directly involved in this, then that's one thing, but their relationships shouldn't become a sideshow to display to everyone. Something similar happened with Loyde, and I didn't condone it then either.

Dude, you need to call her then! Who do you think paid for everything? Who do you think helped Dean get Whodeanies started? Who do you think he drained to the brink of bankruptcy? Oh she is involved alright. Its a damn shame too. Kathy was super nice and very forthcoming. If it weren't for the circumstances, I'd say I enjoyed speaking with her. She is a very nice lady.
Sorry but I feel there is a very obvious "3 parts to every story" situation going on here in terms of BV's engine... Let
me try to offer the 3rd party opinion.
It was CLEAR that everything done on this was done to make it look good not make power... You did nothing to help on
this.. and you assembled his motor like an idiot without even making sure it ran before delivering it to the customer (be
the customer dean or BV)
[QUOTE]Out of all this I did the best I can do and I did build the best I could do. Me, that is not saying someone could
do better….. fine…. I worked within an unrealistic time limits regardless of who said what to who I did it ….

Originally posted by darkhorizon: It was made clear to BV that you could do it better than anyone... now you are saying that you are just a normal guy
trying to build a normal motor the best you can but you have never done it before? Sorry and the timeline deal is a joke
too... You could have taken ONE day to "build" what you did... I know because i have done it more than a few times.
[QUOTE]When I left the engine was running with great oil pressure and not overheating.

Originally posted by darkhorizon: I dont doubt this, but what do these 2 things have anything to do with how the motor is performing.. you swapped heads
(twice because you were retarded when you installed the MLS gaskets).. why wouldnt the stupid stock motor make oil
pressure and not overheat?
Also, to the "orginial" story you provided with his motor...
You say you were mad he was "hitting it" with so little miles on it... Well I am sorry but I have hit my "built" stock
engines at least 3 times harder with even less miles on them... I dont see the fear of "hitting" a motor like that.
---TLDR
BV... You have turned a crappy situtation into a horrible situation with absolutely nothing but further damaging
yourself... You got involved with some shady crappy people no doubt about that, but the muck slinging and the opinion of
your poor car you have spawned out of rage is just going too far. I may be slightly hipocritcal in saying these things as
I handled Loyde the same way, but he was much more obviously a crook as he just plainly stole and didnt deliever a running
driving car built the way you asked him to build it... You just dont have a damn case here to go after these goons, and
you blew off every single warning sign that showed up when you built this car with some blinded ignorance that should not
be rewarded.
Dean/idiot engine builder douche..You built possibly the biggest pile of crap 3800 swap I have ever seen. The ported
heads were hilarious sorry excuses for dremel jobs, that intake was a power reducer over anything you could have put on
there, the turbo drain was comical, and the obvious assembly errors make you look like children playing in a sandbox. The
funniest parts (if they are true) is the conversations saying how expert the "team" here was on the subject... I wouldnt
let you change an air filter on one of my cars without fear of you screwing it up, lol. The fact that you charged money
for ANYTHING related to what made that car move on its own power is criminal... sadly just not in the eyes of the law.
I have to admit.. I literally laughed till I cried. No really.

AGAIN, POSTED WITH HER PERMISSION!!!
OK, you're right. You should make this be about anything in his personal life that you deem fit. There shouldn't be any decency shown towards other people that weren't directly involved. You keep talking about one person giving permission, but you're bringing up more than just her. I'm honestly surprised you haven't said anything about his kids yet. I won't say anything more about this, as apparently you have this all under control.
Are you talking about the ex-gf or the current wife?

I'm not talking about anything on this anymore. I'm done with it. You're grown men, and I shouldn't be telling you what to do. I just don't agree with some parts of how this has gone, and wanted to say something.

Uh,..actually it's not that beloved (the dash),...as you can see by my statement above,... i had even forgotten about it ! LMAO.
But SINCE you asked,..i am sure if i give Dean a call or pm he will take care of it. No worries bro.
I think you keep mistaking my dealings with Dean, with his dealings with others. No way am i defending that. I am as shocked as anybody, by all the current accusations that are going on.
All i am saying is he did solid by ME,..end of story.
P.S. (Taken minutes ago)
Have a nice day.

The loyde angle was so much more centered around the girls in his life being the source of the problem like a meth addiction more so than deenz crackpot addiction. Deenz partners in life here seem to offer some drama but not all that much more.
Just to clarify... My wife?! I don't think so. (And I don't think that's what you meant.)
That's not what he meant Steve.. He was talking about Stephanie..Deans current wife. No need to re-hash our (you and me) past arguments. You and I are good, so its water under the bridge as far as I am concerned. I will also like to say publicly that I apologize to you for my comments when we were going at it. I know you were only trying to defend someone you thought you could trust. I would do the same. Like I said, Dean had all of us fooled.

Hello, Fellows... I am the owner of Engineered Performance in Atlanta. Most of you know me and alot of you have done business with me. I was very disturbed to hear that the quality of a product that I provided to one of my customers was questioned here on this forum. Paul bought from me a used L67 engine and transmission. I was commissioned to do a "soft" rebuild of the engine. I also sold Paul an EP-Limited Slip Differential.
Now, a quote from page 22, dated 6-24-11 (emphasis added)

well yestreday was fun, we had the owner of the lambo stop by to see his car for the first time and he is excited to see it almost done. we also installed a full set of air bags on our first custom VW for a customer. today we are starting 3 3800 swaps. we will be getting all of them ready to go in to the cars. starting with the tear down and re build of one of them the other 2 have been done already they just need to have the headers and a few other things done to them to get them ready for install. I will post some pisc of them as we go. D.
And the following photo clearly shows what I can easily identify as Paul Jenkins' engine that I personally tore down, installed ARP rod bolts, all new gaskets and seals, and reassembled. It was clean and ready to install. I know it's Paul's bc the transmission tailshaft housing is off. I had the differential out, the LSD was still being built at my shop. The box of parts beside it has things like the coil bracket and coils, dogbone bracket, pcm, and other externals. I will only ask once for Dean and his mechanic to please refrain from posting lies about me and my business practices
Saw this coming. Tried to explain that this would happen without coming off as a snitch. This is exactly what happened with all the threads about Loyde too, all because people couldn't keep it from going past a boundary. Oh well, I guess now it's a free for all.

Doesn't look like it, and would you really want to send him some money in advance for them in light of what's going on?
I haven't read the entire thread, but to me it looks like a decent guy that took on more than he could handle, made a mistake, the mistakes snowballed and he was burned at the steak.
It looked like body work was his specialty (not the mechanics). I would be inclined to think if he were to have stuck to making body parts he could have been a reliable supplier.

You may very well be right on this. If he had stuck to that side of things it might have turned out different, but it would be hard to make a living with such a narrow niche.

If he hadn't of burnt the ACTUAL guy doing the wrenching & wiring, he may have.... oh we could go on and on here, but I hope you get the point.

Dean says he is still plugging along. Not sure what i should do. I am of two minds: Give the guy a chance and see what develops or grab mu cars and run Forest run! I try to see the good in all as lord knows I have seen my share of bad peopleremoved and bad things done. No real word on the cars status or pictures. I was hoping someone was going by and would take a load of them.
That's gotta be hard to do when you know that other people want him in jail. I have no idea how the people that still have cars there think Dean will be able to finish them when he is busy fighting (and paying for) legal battles.

John, without any new income coming in, I don't see him being ale to keep up with rent. If he gets locked out of the shop, neither he nor you will be able to get at your cars easily. At this point, I'd seriously consider getting your property back. An unfinished car is better than no car. If you decide to give him a chance to finish, I'd get everything in writing and I'd still go out there over the holiday break to make sure it's being worked on. With his attitude and both him and his engine builder trying to put this back on the customers, I don't think he's going to follow through though. I'm hoping it turns out for you either way.
