  I was sold a 3sge beams engine swap. After installing in my car, it was discovered that it had very low compression and was no good. I immediately informed the company. Kam, the owner, said to bring it back at my earliest convenience. After traveling 2 hours to their location to return it, they denied any refund or exchange, without Kam being there. Kam was “out of country” according to them, and would be returning in about a week or two. They claimed that they would email him for approval and exchange or refund me the following week. I then load up the engine again, only to get there and have my time wasted a second time. This time, they request that I leave the engine there, and offer me another engine that is supposed to arrive later that week. That engine never arrived, so I made the 4 hour round trip to their location again to pick my engine back up so I’m not empty handed. Upon arrival, they try to claim that my engine was fine and made perfect compression. They claimed they ran a compression test on it when I left it there, and “cranked it faster and longer” not only is this improper, but the engine had no oil in it and they admitted to having never checked for oil and claimed that “it’s still fine anyway, you can crank it over without oil and it’s not bad for it”. Upon inspection back at my garage, the engine now has even lower compression, and has metallic shavings in the oil pan. So not only did they not honor their warranty, they also further damaged my engine.
