BEWARE! Dad aka, Randy aka, Engine machine service
http://www.enginemachineservice.com/metric%20man.html
Most every one knows about Cooper & Mandi
Now there is Kreal & Dad
I'm beginning to suspect there could be a few others too...
The identities overlap a little to much and well... it doesn't look good for the community
A second Upstanding member has now stepped up to the plate and has been an extreme disappointment
Kreal answered my post regarding 6 bolt Axles and Hubs Wanted...
I had many offers and Kreal wanted to beat the shipping price any of the others offered so he basically said he would ship for free.
But when the parts got to me the box they came in was pretty beat up actually the box was oval and when I opened it I found the axles and hubs had full contact with each other and the only padding was one 12"x 6"x 2" expanded foam (not high density)
and no more than six full pages of news paper, the paper was crumpled up and soaked with oil, the spindles had just started poking through the box and when I saw this after going through months of BS with Cooper I was angry an disappointed.
In the mean time while this was going through my mind I had been negotiating an LSD from Kreal but I wait because I want to see the quality of the axles before I commit to buy the diff the best response to Kreal I can give is
" I want to wait on the Differential because the quality of the axles is less than I had expected."
I didn't hear anything from Kreal back I guessed he knew or at least suspected the poor condition parts arrived in.
I didn't want to blow up an loose my cool so I waited till Christmas an told him the situation.
Kreal waited two days and then told me it was too late to file a claim with Fed Ex
Kreal told me the limit was 21 days and I received the parts Dec 2nd.
I argued the point that the packaging was a joke and it took him a couple of days to admit how he package the parts..
I suspect he had to ask his mom or dad because the answer he gave me was completely the opposite of what I described..
How he used bubble wrap an took care with brown paper and tape and reinforced the sides of the box with Styrofoam that nothing moved inside the box... complete fabrication to the truth. But Kreal says why didn't you make the claim the day you received the package...? I bought extra insurance.
So Kreal tells me I can file a claim if I want but the fact is the shipper is responsible for claims so after a few days of going back a forth with who fault is it.. he gets the info right..but of course he has to ask his Dad and his Dad has to call Fed Ex because the parts were shipped from his work.
Original packaging needs to be available for inspection
I threw that out the day I received the parts.. so Kreal still asks me just let me know if you want me to start the process...
That was the limit...
For those of you laughing at my expense you may not see the favor I'm doing all the legitimate vendors because if I don't everyone gets looked at.. I want all of Paul's friends and family to see this because I don't think Paul knows what he is into.
I'm not sure if this is new but it is probably an old scam insurance fraud is definitely an old scam.. it goes something like this..
Find some one who is willing to buy old parts.
Send old damaged parts via Postal Service Fed Ex,UPS,USPS etc..
Insure the package. the seller gets his money from the buyer and the buyer gets his money from the insurance.
The email correspondence Paul has posted is manipulated and incomplete
in Paul's original email after notifying him said "It's unfortunate that you "feel" that the goods were damaged in transit."
Paul knows how upset I'm now an continually is trying to aggravate me with the BS the simple fact is he will not confess to not knowing or the neglect he showed packing the parts.
You can come to your own conclusions.
Could be their quality standards aren't as High or it could be just poor ethics on their part

Dad's the man for twice the price, many of you can buy the same parts for cheaper online at many discount mitsubishi dealers.
Cry all you want DAD just do it on your son Kreals shoulder and on sqc.com but feel free to visit

Dads the man for parts.......If you don't need them in a hurry. In 2005 when I did my engine rebuild I decided to give Dad some of my business. Ordered a BSE kit, that was the only part missing for me to complete the timing train assembly. Well, after 3 weeks of waiting for my parts I called him, he said he shipped it the next day and that he had no control over the mail?????? I ended up buying the part from someone else so I could finish my motor. Just telling my experience with DAD.

I purchased some wiseco pistons from him one time, he tried to send me old 8.5 compression pistons. I had to pay to send them back and lost $15 in shipping and had to wait longer to get the new correct set.
I have heard from numerous members how they had issues with dad's machining work and had to send it back, they lost more money. Like I did with him.
His son Kreal tried to scam me out of $900+ by trying to be smooth and send Pay Pal payment to an unconfirmed address like his DAD's shop. says "oh someone will be there to sign for it, my dad will be there. Told him I was refunding the $ and waited for payment.
I did not fall for the scam and refunded the $. He never sent the payment from a confirmed address. I did not fall for it Paul. I remember all the scams he was pulling with the newbies, he was even banned for the scams on www.sqc.com
Dad's the man for twice the price.

Dad aka, Randy aka, Engine machine service , and any other business entity representing said parties are currently suspended from any/all sales activity on this site, pending an investigation. Dad is not banned from this site, just from sales and use of the feedback forum. Dad has refused to participate in this investigation, and will not answer any questions regarding it, so it is unlikely that this will be resolved any time soon. Thus, any sales info, including feedback (positive or negative), is bared from this site.
If you want to read feedback to decide whether or not to do business with Dad or any of his entities, please do so off this site or in private though PM's/email.
If you want to share your experiences (good or bad) to aid others in deciding the merits and/or value of Dad or his products, please do so off this site or in private though PM's/email.

Randy knows from the beginning he was included in the original feedback I left for him and Kreal Dec 29 2005, 09:08 PM
The copied correspondence between Kreal and myself is hosted on his personal website..
How can he possibly forget he is not involved ??
How can I possibly slander a man that so blatantly slanders himself..?
Since Randy see’s so much potential in these axles and they were in similar condition to a set installed in his sons car..
Why didn’t he buy them back then… or now ?
And how was I trying to scam Kreal or Randy by asking for a replacement or refund ??
IF all I would accept was a $$ monetary refund then you might suspect that I was trying to pull a fast one..
but a fair exchange ??
How is it possible that out of all the transactions that Randy or Kreal has made, mine went sour ??
Kreal was the only person who could initiate the investigation for the shipping damage,
but knew he (or whomever) was negligent in the packaging of the axels..
this is spelled out plainly in my feedback that I suspected Kreal had to ask someone else how this was preformed and neither Kreal or Randy address this question completely.
There is no doubt that I bought these axles from Kreal and Randy and this is the customer service after the sale that I received, I have every right to post pictures of the items
I bought and describe the treatment I received.
Randy continuously posses legal threats and claims slander on my part but still Randy and Kreal refuse to address the issue of the axles and how they were packaged before they were sent.. or that I am not satisfied as a customer with the transaction.
(In the BS forum) I attempted to voice my opinion on SQC.com
but I was immediately silenced by the moderators and loyal followers on that site and my post removed..
Anyone connected to the administration on SQC.com has free reign to act as corruptly as they desire with no fear of reprisal for committing violations of SQC.com policy because it does not hold them accountable.
The very fact that Randy insist on settling this through other venues other than directly show the type of mettle he and his associates are made of..
Randy is a liar.

I see on his website he slams Kelly, Metric and myself??? All I ever wanted was for him to admit that the part I ordered was not delivered to me in a timely manner and had no tracking number for me to follow up on. And for this I get crap from him? Well.....Whatever. I will not be doing business with him again and I will not recommend him to others for parts.

Exactly Caliber what we we hoping for him to show the side he doesn't always express on line.. which he did but, in also doing showed he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed either..
So yeah not a positive business attribute.
He'll remain on the outside and won't bother the other members here.

Found this on .net
So I see CALIBER 308 was banned on 26 lt. for telling the truth about Dad???? He is a snake in the grass,he says that members on this site speak untruths about him......Well, he spoke untruths about Cal on Trances site and when Cal exposed him for it...His *** kissers started a BAN POLL. Why?? Maybe he offered them a discount on his overpriced parts. Everything I have read on .net speaks the truth about him.
1. He overcharges for parts..
2. He lies about KDM and members here on.net.
3. He continues to create problems for anyone who disagrees with him, (by them exposing him for who he really is).
4. He doesn't know **** about Starquests and uses his parts business as a front.
5. He says he doesn't want to get involved in "drama" on SQ sites, but continues to cause it "i.e. Trances site".
So, who is truthful. And who is just in it for the money???? Cal wasn't selling OVERPRICED parts, DAD WAS!!! And when 308 exposed him for what he really is......His ******* friends BANNED him??????
Truth teller
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
P.S.If you also haven't been banned on http:// www.26liter.us Log in...and read the names of the members there who voted to ban CAL308.They are not to be trusted!!!!
