we were just looking into the spark plug hole with a light shining in through the valve when it opens i can see half the piston and there was nothing i could see. i thought something may have fell into the exhaust valve and onto the piston. we even turned the motor on its side so if there was anything there on it it should slide over to the side i could see.
the guy that built it says it spun when it left so if he takes it apart and there was nothing he did we would have to pay him. i dont blame him for that but if it was something we dropped in and he pulled the heads to get it the gaskets are $130 for the heads plus labor so i just wanted to be sure there wasnt something dropped in it.
If you have him do it be there when he disassembles it because if you aren't the next phone call will be looking for money because it wasn't his fault .

 There's a reason I put my own stuff together...After some of the stuff I've seen I wish I could do all the machine work but thats just not realistic...

Make sure the flex plate bolts to crank are not to long.
Don't ask me how I know....

Ihave to assume you didn't turn the motor over on the stand,and I can't believe the guy who builds race engines would give you the motor that way! You mentioned bellhousing,if you put the flywheel on maybe the bolts are hitting the block, if not I would pull the pan down and see what's going on!

In my last post I said I can't believe an engine builder would give you the motor that wouldn't turn over. Their are engine builders who rip people off and I know few on long island who since moved out of state because nobody would deal with them anymore. That's why I said take the pan down and see for yourself and then take it back so he can't BS you! Good luck.

Call him up, tell him what happened.
When he's done "explaining", tell him he has 24 hours to come over and pick it up, take it back to his shop, R&R it with new oil, gaskets, etc. and deliver it back again.
Unless, of course he wants to pay you $75. an hour to do his work for him?
If he refuses I'd like to know about it.
Wayyy too many "famous name shops" have screwed up like this (including for magazine projects) and they were very careful not to let it get out.

I'd reserve all judgement until the problem is found.Like what has been said,be there as it is being dis-assembled.Don't be surprised if some thing is found on top of a piston.Do you have or have access to a borescope?Do you know which cylinder is near the top of it's stroke when it locks?You can determine this by turning the engine until it stops,back it up and put your finger over the plug hole to feel pressure.  Also if it's a blower motor,check your pully bolts on the front of the crank and make sure one is not interfearing on the timing cover.Check the same on the blower.

Its how they handle the problem that will tell alot about them. It could be a number of minor things.
