It's very frustrating for me to read these posts and it's not even my engine.I was fortunate enough to learn engine building skills when I worked in a heavy equipment component room when I was 14 years old. I really don't understand why people entrust their tens of thousands of hard earned money to someone they hardly know to build a bomb like that.
Engine building is not that hard but it does take a fair amount of time and a well equipped tool box.I think some of these engine shops get behind the 8 ball and with too many irons in the fire and hurry the builds and the customer gets something that hasn't been completely inspected.
