First of all I would like to thank those of you that have defended me for my reputation seems to be in question by those who do not know me nor have they ever purchased any of my products.
I want to clearly state that this isn’t a ploy by which to sell, promote, advertise or link to any item that I may have for sale.
I am responding to this post and following threads only to uphold and defend myself and to “Set the record straight”.

I refuse to comment with any slanderous remarks to the above post’s title as it would be childish to come back with a comment such as; “Gee is that your’ underarm you are smelling?” but the thought did occur.
a thankless job.

So chill out, I was not trying to smear your reputation or anything.
Jeffsavage,
Maybe a little better diplomacy would have been a better aproach and not the "sniff sniff... I think I smell BS". You could have used the aproach "does anybody know anything about these pulleys? Has anybody had a pulley go bad?" Not thta I'm perfect, as I have had my share of altercations, but it's the wording used that will usually get a person in trouble. Maybe an apology for the misunderstanding would have been more appropriate than firing back with the above statement.

I will not lie. I also thought it seemed odd, those and the polished rearend covers. Not that its personal but people sell some of the biggest rip offs on Ebay like the $.99 timing adjuster with $5 shipping. That being said the daescription of the process here on the boad should be yused in the Ebay adds it seems more credile.

Yeah, in retrospect that was a poor choice of words. On the 'Net it's hard to get to know someone, so all of you here don't know that is just my sense of humor, I am sarcastic. Plus I am having a totally crappy week so my mood is not so happy.

maybe these are better ???
OK MYSTERY VENDOR, DO I GET A FREE SET NOW TO TRY
