sometimes you just need a break but whatever you do don't sell your toy, you will regret it down the road

we determined that the motor was hurt before i got it. i got ahold of the guy who sold me the motor and let him know what went down. he was completely cool about the whole situation and said that he would call me back by the end of the day to figure out some kind of solution. I am so damn lucky that i found an honest seller for this motor that is willing to work with me. im not expecting a full refund or anything crazy like that since i did get a long block core with full accessories...but in the end i have 1700 into a core motor. that hurts pretty badly considering i could have found one for 5 or 600 in the houston area. he could have easily told me where i can stuff that motor
