Recently bought a 1937 Flathead motor on Ebay. The crate it was shipped in was dropped by UPS. Suffered minor damage including broken sparkplugs ect. Two fins on each cylinder head were broken off. The pieces didn't make it back in the box. I am now filing a claim with UPS, since they picked up the crate wrong breaking sideboard and causing engine to hit hard surface and break off fins. These heads are cast iron; which in itself is a hard repair. Missing fins makes job more tedious. Question is: How much Is this damage? If I dispute their offer for value how do I back it up? PS...I paid some serious money for this engine so I'm not gonna just say," gee whiz, Wally; dats O K."
