Hi
My name is Arthur, and i have bad experience, with Troy Jeup.
So story started in late august when i purchased 06 BMW M6 with transmission in the trunk, it was supposed to be an easy project. I was thinking i will change the tranny and enjoy the car, but after the car was delivered from sellers place, i saw metal pieces in the intake, it turned out to be bent valve...So i took engine out, it was easy cause previous owner sold good engine from this car and put ****ty engine with a hole in the block and just used couple bolts to hold it, car was missing radiator fan, clutch, headlights, ac compressor, tonns of bolts and screws....Long story short, i have my own repair shop and to rebuild engine is not a big deal for me.
I started looking for engines, and i bought for 2200$ engine with 65.000 miles with spun rod bearing, took engine apart, brought crank to the machine shop, and machine shop offered to weld journals, cut it after and size to stock bearing size. When i was in engine search i saw multiple topics about Troy Jeup and his engine rebuild service, so i called him told the whole story and situation that i have, he told me that he had multiple stories same as mine and that is nothing new. So i asked how much and he offered me to give him 2 engine cores that i have and he will take off 4000$ off engine price plus will throw couple parts that i need. It was supposed to be 2 weeks from the time he received engines
So I shipped two pallets on 9/29/2016 and since that time all i have is a pictures of my oil pump taken apart, and promises to ship ready engine very soon.
Before i sent those 2 pallets i read ALL reviews good and bad, i put myself in his position and was thinking this is all BS and that he is a guy with big heart and he knows what he is doing, he is professional, but turned out that i was wrong.
Never picked up phone from me after , picked up once when i called him from different area phone number, and told me story about moving to the different shop, never replyed my txts...
I asked 3 times Troy in voicemail to send me back everything if he don't want to do it, or don't have time, and i will do it myself cause i am losing time that will nobody is going to give me back.
I posted this topic cause i have to move on and i don't know if he just screwed me up and took for free those engines for parts, just need advice from u guys, i want to resolve this problem, i am tired of hopes and promises.
