Sounds like he wasn't serious about helping you out. No worries now with the chargeback...glad you had that option and yes, everyone who buys anything with a checkcard or credit card has the same option. When they charge it back to him he does have the option of disputing the chargeback, so check with your bank about what he can do in return so that you are ready for the outcome.

As with Paypal's option they may well contact you for a secondary statement...in this instance a witness will be crucial to your chargeback holding water.

Sorry about the motor tanking on you, but it was not your fault. No oil on the planet will ruin a motor like that. I have used my last rebuilder due to problems with mine that are now fixed. Next time out I'll be installing a 5.3/4L60e. On your next motor, I'd consider a third party crate motor [not GM] like Edelbrock or World Products....something with a real warranty.

Good luck and keep us posted on the outcome!
