Default Re: Re-stamped engines and Lowering Miles

just a tidbit for some of you that may not know, if white lines show up beteen the numbers on an odometer, its been messed with. I grew up in a part of chicago working at a gas station next to an erl schieb paint shop (plenty of painted stolen cars). there was a guy near there that specialized in odometer turnbacks (at the back of a tropical fish shop). I was into fish tanks and cars back then and he showed me how it was done bwecause I would hang around a lot (aka loser), and he said if you mess with them in anyway, the lines come up.

I have looked at some low mileage cars over the years, and more than you think have those white lines. I figure most know this, but if you did not, now you know. I really pissed of a guy once with a 'low mileage hemi car' when I said his odometer has been tampered with. It soon became an unknown milege hemi car.
