i'd like to ask that the bobblehead video featuring quirt's likeness be taken down. it's unnecessarily demeaning and unfairly prejudicial.

the two quotes by quirt crawford were posted on nasioc in the last few weeks. if there was any doubt the man is lying, this should add some clarity.

really quirt? let's see what you testified were the specs for my motor a few weeks back:

sorry, quirt but we couldn't resist measuring the clearances. they were actually between .006 and .007. do you have any way of explaining how your clearances were off by 100%?

i can. youre lying. you lied about the autopsy on my motor. you lied that it wasn't your fault and you lied about checking your clearances before your customers unwittingly install them.

i have to ask you; what do you and your excuse makers and apologists have to say about that?

As measured from the piston skirts - no ****? Wow, just wow. So you think the severe cylinder scuffing came from the top of the pistons as they slammed repeatedly into the walls on the power stroke?

Boy, I'm surprised the damn thing didn't come unzipped.

The links still work. I check the small one and the large one. Simply click on it, let it load your media player and walk away (takes a while to download).

What a shame, I hope Justin checks the clearances before starting that thing up worth the time to make sure it's right.

i think anyone who buys a crawford shortblock without a total public confession to include an apology by quirt crawford and without a clear statement of what his improved qc protocol will be in the future has rocks in his head. don't hold your breath.

littlle ricky says there's a tire rotation job opening at pep boys. chris and quirt can both fight over it.

Neither of them will get it if they find out about the bobblehead disaster of 2005/6. They will be forced to work the phones at one of those dodgy debt collection companies

You would think they would notice a gapping problem like that when putting the damn thing together. How could you not notice that amount of movement?

you are one complete and total wack job. you flit in. you flit out. you have yet to explain how a motor went out the door with .006 - .007 piston to wall clearances. i'm more interested in knowing how you managed to stay in business for so long putting oil belching bobblehead 2 strokes into the subaru community.

i am impressed though that you were able to bully the moderators at nasioc into burying the bobblehead thread in vendor reviews just 20 hours after i showed what a lying piece of scum you are. i've achieved solice knowing that from now to eternity, people will ask at racing events, "isn't that the bobblehead guy?" yes. yes it is.
