I sent a message to the seller letting them know they are single use tty bolts and can't be re-used. Maybe Sean can keep an eye out and see if they kill the auction?

I would of liked to get more Funny Ebay things.
If you have then post them.
Would fun to show some the things that really should go into
the trash or scrap pile.


There is a guy and I have sent him a message that
the bed plate needs to go with the block. He is asking $500
for a bed plate.
I also saw that he has a crankshaft and the end is still bolted on it.

I made a set of forks for a loader and used my old head bolts as clamp bolts tap and threaded the forks.
I hope nobody uses them to do a gasket job lol.

If those head bolts sell, I'll try to get rid of my old serpentine belt, t-stat, GPCM and a few other parts that are in working, but heavily used condition.

I doubt they will sell. You buy gaskets and they come with headbolts. Who replaced headbolts and not the gasket

And to think. When I had my APR's installed I told the mechanic to keep them. He showed me a box full of new head bolts.
Mike are you selling them on ebay. If so I want a %.

You know what John? I never would've thought about selling them had I not come across this thread. Wow, I can't believe the kind of scams people try to pull. I would be very interested to see the seller's response to anyone asking him what he's hoping someone will have use for them for? Much less one that makes it even worthy of trying to make money on. As a mechanic, I have a huge pile of parts piling up in my garage that I wouldn't even THINK of using, if it were my own vehicle, let alone someone else's.

There's people out there who will smile and joke with you as they take the money right out of your pocket. Takes all kinds to make the world go round. Just gotta hope there really is a karma thing at the of the road.

Mike your rep matters to you. Ebay people not so much.
It's all about the $ and screw anyone that gets bitten in the process.
It's really too bad Ebay started out ot be a good place for some
nice good used stuff. Now you have to dig through all the Chinese junk
and copied DVD,songs and what ever else.
I trust you. The Ebay guy, not really.
