Shaw City Engines

brought in a 4-bolt main small block Chevy to have rebuilt. using his expert knowledge he said to me "what are you in love with this block?" I've got one over here already rebuilt. I decided to go with the one that was sealed up ready to go that day. I installed it over the next few weeks and when when the break-in. began there was a knock deep in the engine. I drove it to him to have him listen to it. he pretended not to hear it and then he said take it out. bring it back to me and I'll take a look at it. I lived with the knock that got progressively louder over a year when it finally let go. never again

Do not buy from Allan. Professional scam artists. I bought a 496 from him within hours of break in it lost all oil pressure. He pretty much called me a liar. I returned it through eBay. He came up with some bs and told eBay I didn't return the same item. I ended up suing him and he returned the money though pay pal saying I sold him an engine. A month goes by and he opens a claim saying I sold him an engine and he never received it. Guy deserves to be left in a ditch somewhere.

Bought engine and got it with a bad cam. Engine looked good but cam was crazy from the get go. Bought through eBay so messaged seller and came to an agreement of 2100 dollars for a refund to replace cam an components damaged. Shaw city wanted to refund through PayPal and I got it no problem 7 months later they make a claim on PayPal that I sold them an engine an they never got it an filed a claim for 2100 dollars. Come to find out they sent me my refund through PayPal marking it for goods an services like I was the seller so they could make the claim I never sent them an engine. Shaw city is a scam and a fraud do not ever buy anything from them they will scam you.

I tried to contact the seller through eBay but too much time had passed. We ordered an engine from eBay through this company. When the sale had completed, I finally found out where it was coming from and looked the company up. I was so concerned about the engine I was receiving that I tried to send it back but eBay said I had to take possession of it for them to help me. When the engine arrived, much to my surprise it appeared to be clean and well put together (visual inspection only.) We went ahead and finished putting it together. I never was able to get the engine past the break in point, it never ran right and we later found out why. It ended up exploding a piston within 300 miles, once we started tearing the engine down we found out the head bolts hadn't been torqued properly for starters. We were able to break most of them loose easily with a half inch ratchet. The bearings were in bad shape, and Chinese. (Who knew that was a thing) I took a different block to a machine shop to try to salvage what was left, and they found a hairline crack in the crank. Basically long story short, $3,500 is completely out the window. There is nothing I was able to salvage out of the engine. M

Not sure where to start but here we go about this SCAMMER! On July 17, 2018, I won an E-Bay auction for a set of the Pro-Comp cylinder heads for a Big Block Ford (460) engine from this SCAMMER/CROOK/THIEF. The winning auction price was $381.67 for a pair of complete heads plus $129.30 in shipping. (GREAT DEAL right) Now Alan Paolercio originally was calling himself on E-Bay Clewwho40 and has now changed it to Seperformance 5 and now I know why! Upon winning the auction I received an invoice just a couple hours after the auction closed. I was ready to pay but Alan had the shipping amount wrong. it was originally $129.30 and the invoice was now showing $429.30. Giving him the benefit of the doubt and human error I contacted Alan via e-mail thru ebay and asked him to correct this error so I could pay right away. I received a response from Alan stating he was on vacation and would fix it on Monday 07-23-18. While I was waiting on him to return from vacation and correct his error I was getting hounded by ebay to finish my deal or they would charge me with an unpaid item charge. So i waited until that Monday morning and sent Alan a follow-up email reminding him to correct this shipping
