Well about 2 1/2 weeks ago my buddy bought a modded 300ex motor from our very own " diedrich " a user form KY. any way he claimed he was doin a 300ex/350x conversion and wanted to sell his 300ex motor. he said it was bored 40ths over, proX piston, 3 angle valve job, hardened rocker arms, and that he himself had just installed a NEW web cam in it, and that motor had about 20hrs on it. Our motor mechanic just go it tore apart to put harder valves in it and guess what???

The valves were shot and no 3 angle job, rocker arms were not even hardened and were scorched and junk, didnt even have a web cam in it but an almost junk stock looking one, and i dont think there was even an proX piston. And he had messed around and stripped half of the head bolts out and it would have ran about 3 laps before it would have blown a head gasket. it looks like it has about 200 hrs on it. anyway, he knew it was junk and flat out lied about it and screwed us. He is on vacation right now but is gonna have alot of explaining to do when he gets back. we are only about 4hrs apart and may have to go give him a visit. 16yr old punks like this ruin stuff for everyone. :mad:

"Gayer Equipment"...LMFAO
do they sale "USED" equipment...haha

I just sold "Diedrich" my Used Stock cam.
I thought it looked pretty damn good,:confused2
there wassn't a scratch on it anywhere.
(Might nt be the same cam)
I have bought, and sold parts with Diedrich in the past.
I didn't have any problem's with him. parts, and money was recived pretty fast.
I bought an Oil-line from him, (not much can go wrong there)
and sold him, a carrier, extra berrings, the clip, and my stock cam.
I was going to give him Positive Feedback, just never got around to it.

Sorry you got screwed, hope it works out.

aight let me do some explaining here. yeah everyones gonna say im just lying and bull**** but u can ask a couple of the guys i talk to on here all the time and deal with like blahh that i dont screw people over. aight now for the motor i never promised a webcam. it had a webcam in it and i bought that stock cam off blahh that also looked brand new to me cause i thought it could probably use a new cam. so i took the head off and it did so i put that in. i told the guy that came and got it that if u wanted the webcam to tell me. now for the 3-angle valve job and rocker arms, i have no idea really. thats just what the guy that i bought the engine off of told me. he said it had hardened rocker arms and a 3-angle valve job. no professional ever looked at my engine and i have never seen a 3-angle vavle job cause all i've ever worked on has been 2-stroke dirtbikes. for the piston im 100% sure that it is a .40 pro x piston. i ordered it from dennis kirk and put it in myself so im for sure on that. the headbolts were'nt stripped either. sum of em shown wear but i never had a problem gettin em off with a socket so they were'nt too bad. and no it didnt have 200hrs on it. u can ask anyone around here that it sat for along time cause i bent my a-arm. its been sittin alot longer than its been able to ride. no i didnt rip you off on purpose. i just told you what i was told on the head and rocker arms. i never had a problem out of the motor though. i raced it in 2 flattrack races and 2 tt races and it didnt blow a head gasket. ran fine for me. i pmed about it so get back to me. i just dont want everyone thinking that im a bad person to deal with cause im not.

we ended up dumping another $600 in the motor to bring it back to life. We never worked anything out either. What do you think we should do Diedrich???
