Hello.
I don't know where to go with this but I figured you may be able to help
get the word out.  My name is Mark and I recently had a rebuild installed
by California Bug Works in Fairfield CA.  He used a GEX rebuild.  Since
the installation I have had $170 in incidentals and a new air flow meter
$150 used).  The engine has never stopped leaking.  Bob Bell the owner
replaced several seals and now the engine leak is minimal.  (But for
$2,500 do I want a leak?!!).  Shortly after the repair while on vacation
in Washington a mechanic found the cable to the starter had not been
connected with a nut causing a dying sensation.  Bob claimed he never
removed the harness ( which is recommended by the haynes manual?).  Most
recently , after Bob replaced the seals, my local mechanic had to set the
timeing from 30 atdc to the recommended 5 btdc.  Bob asked if I thought
he had set it at 30 degrees, and said he is through dealing with me and
will see me in court.  GEX will not warranty against heat damage so I
feel as though my warranty is worthless.  Any ideas.

Thanks in advance
Mark Trent
