Jake emailed me yesterday. He says he knows he messed up, and that he's trying to get things done as soon as possible. Vassil has told Brian and I that Jake has indeed been working a lot at the shop. As long as that's the case, I'll continue to let him finish. Jake assured me that he'll try to stay in better contact with me from now on. We'll see how that pans out.
 
I have seen him out at the shop quite a bit lately. Hopefully shit gets straightened out and everyone's saticfied.
 
he emailed me and j.t. as well, and basically its not looking good for me. I'm assuming hes rather pissed at me from the email I got, (why should I bother, I KNOW he is PISSED at me,) even though I know me and him have very similar stubborn cocky personalities, and he would probably have done the same thing had he been in my case. J.T. was told by jake that he never recieved the head that j.t. sent him, and when j.t. went to investigate at ups, sure enough they still had it, so that one IS on ups and not jake, but when j.t. emailed jake asking him to ship the assembled shortblock that eric took pics of while he was there (I was right, that one is j.t.'s and not mine) and not worry about any type of refund for the work jake won't be doing (installing the head onto the block), jake refused. In my opinion, as well as j.t.'s this is very suspicious. He is asking for jake to do less work, and be done with this so there is no more issuses and he doesn't have to worry about j.t. bothering him anymore, yet jake refuses?

as for the email I recieved, I was basically told that if I don't pay jake within 30 days, jake will ASSUME that he can take the engine as his own. Last time I checked, if you can't get ahold of someone, its rather hard to send them money, let alone are you going to be willing to do it. Its pretty ####ed up that he can DEMAND the rest of the money, while over the past 2 months I haven't got jack shit from him, not even a ####ING HELLO.

I really would like to pay him and get my longblock assembled and done, but Im not going to just dive in blindly and give him some serious cash once again. It would be AMAZINGLY irrisponsible on my part. Once jake realizes this and agrees to work with me on a way of assuring me that I will actually get an engine out of this transaction, I'll send him the final payment. But again, were going to have to TALK in order for that to happen, and since we are currently on a once every two month talking baises, I don't see that happening.

jake, since I know you are reading this, I don't know why you still avoid our calls, but sack up, talk to me, and start trying to work this out like a man, the longer you wait, the worse this whole thing will be. I understand that your not going to ship me the engine without the final payment, and Im not going to pay you without some type of insurance I'll get something out of it, if we start talking out our options, then we can solve this.
