Let me state again: Scott has no assets--I have no wiser options than this thread at this time.

As for Adrian, he did everything he could to help out on phone and e-mail, and I respect him highly for deciding to reopen the thread. I believe his reasons are quite simple. Adrian reopened this thread because after reviewing both sides of the story, he must have thought that this thread should remain open.

As for Scott, he says he sent me the following: radiator fans, driveshaft endlinks, and shifter linkage. I'll probably get them on the car this coming weekend to see if everything will fit. Once I do, I'll update with photos after I talk to Scott about his invoice, which is still the biggest problem.

Let me be clear.
1. Scott never gave me any option during the engine build process, and I just didn't know enough to request certain part over another.
2. Scott says he spent $2k on the guru shaft upon my request.
3. The story I had been told is this: Scott told me the original e-shaft was BROKEN, and that's why he went with the guru shaft. Keep in mind, Scott charged me over $5000 for the 20b short block anyway.
4. When I asked Scott I wanted the original e-shaft back as a souvenir, he said it was trashed.

Let me be also clear that Scott told me he also trashed the 20b oem housings and rotors because they were ALL damaged. He then went on and charged me hefty brand new Mazda retail price for all the 13b stuff.

So in the end, I was charged over $5000 20b shortblock with broken e-shaft, 3 broken housings, and 3 broken rotors. and I had to buy brand new 13b housing & rotors & seals, etc. etc. at Mazda listed retail price. I don't even know if they're actually new stuff--I'll update once I get the engine rebuilt.

I wrote this just so that some of you can have both sides of the story after talking with Scott on the phone and via private e-mails.
