Man John, sorry to hear this.
All that 'sick family member' and 'I've been in the hospital' stuff is classic scam-talk. For that matter so is the dropped and ruined engine. I know of a guitar builder that told people he was in a car accident and had 7 new guitars destroyed. That plus his own hospital stay, his wife's (for another reason) and his father dying bought him months of good will from a long list of customers that had sent him money. All of it pure horse $#it of course.
Dirtbags!
