His name is:

Michael Tautkus
996 Underhill Road
McMinnville, TN 37110

According to a few other people...that address is listed to a
Silcox, Kristie (same address)...but that is where I sent the m/o, thats where the engine came from and that where I returned my piston/rod/rings and half a bearing I accidentally left on the bottom of the rod.

SpeedPro piston/plasma-moly coated rings(just the one set of 3 that was on that piston)
Powerhouse Forged rod and its bolts
and 1 half side of a king bearing(other half is here on on the crank)

If you do stop over there, tell him you are there to get the parts for Justin Ferlich...that you have held ransom. Everything is paid for and should have been returned a month ago. Thanks

Ohhyeah...here are the directions http://www.mapquest.com/directions/m...2s=tn&2z=37110

I see its about 35miles away...so I dont expect you to go that far, but would be greatly appreciated if you could. Ive got some money to offer if needed to go out there All I want are my parts back Thanks!

Thanks, Ill hook you up witha reward if you can manage to have any success in finding this bastard.

BTW...if you want too, feel free to bash his head in with my piston. I already bought a set of new pistons throughout this ordeal so I dont really need his replacement one now. But, I do need the damn rod/half a bearing/rings. This guy is a total *******...be careful! Who knows what a looser who screws people over all the time is capable of.

FLIPPIN...refer to my other post for the newest problem. http://web.camaross.com/forums/showt...83#post1528383

Basically, his number that was working yesterday but with no answers(other than a machine)...is now disconnected

I think he seen my number on caller ID when I forgot to block it once last night. Im so Pissed! Please help me out!

This guy is one sorry SOB if he goes through all the troube to disconnect a line, etc...just to hide from me and to keep my parts that were basically junk parts he sent in the first place.

I guess its possible they could have had a storm or something and knocked phone lines out...but I doubt that.

**This is a copy of what i posted in the lounge also**

Well, Still cant get ahold of this bastard. However, I guess it really doesnt matter now.

I just ordered a set of real forged rods Powerhouse 5140 series polished forged steel with ARP hardware from http://www.enginekits.com. I also ordered a set of clevite rod bearings since Mike is keeping mine and thats the only other thing I needed to get my engine back together. I already ordered a set of powerforged pistons and rings which arrived last week. Now I can finally get my parts balanced and installed.

The guys at enginekits.com said the rods he did sell me the forged cr1 rods...are nothing but a stock replacement rod. They said its not intended for anything over 350hp or so. Then the cr3 is next level up decent forged rod, with the ones I just ordered being the niceest/best from powerhouse so far(the 5140 polished forged rods). Michael tautkus said the cr1 rods that he sold me are good for 200hp of nitrous in a 500hp motor, BS! I will be pressing charges against this guy!!!! More for all the false advertising than anything...but the postal fraud will definently be in there also(he lied about almost every part on the engine I bought) His $1600 forged(really nonforged) short block has now costed me about $3000 due to replacing everything that came with his block but the crank(god, I hope thats ok too...i better check it out).


Thanks for all the effort all of you have put in. I would still like to get my parts back so I can have a complete set of junky pistons and rods to give/sell to someone else(if they even want them ****ty parts).

Anyhow, I would still appreciate if one of you brutes would to make a visit to his house.....Feel free to use all my parts at you disposal as weapons if needed, as I dont really need them now(but would like them back if possible). I am going to make it well known that this guy is a scam artist.
