Hi group,

I have lost two v8 engines to two individuals. One was for a corvette and another was a hi-po pontiac engine for a GTO.

The Pontiac engine was taken for servicing to a shop in Mandaluyong noted for souping-up american muscle cars. One year later I have not been able to retreive said unit and the guys is avoiding me. I can't just go there and claim it since they will not release it after I have even paid-up on the overhaul. Is there any legal recourse here>

The Corvette 350 cid was "borrowed" from my car and was promised to be returned. Hmmm...go figure. The two are mag-kumpare as well...and I hate to say it mine as well.

What makes it difficult is there were gentlemen's agreements and that is the root of the problem...

I suppose there is no legal recourse here? For those involved in American v8s please note that these characters prey on the unsuspecting.
