I used to deal with them years ago, however have not had any contact for the past 5 or so years. Employee's come and go so who knows  I ALWAYS  everything I can no matter WHO'S Name did the work or what their reputation is.  The block and balance job were ALL re-done on my motor after it didn't meet my criteria  Paid twice & built once

Assuming that's supposed to say "have it checked again"  , yes, that's the plan. Just trying to solicit any "early warnings" that I should expect problems or not.

Are you're talking specifically about the work The Shop did, or an example of having to re-do another places work?

Just an example, sorry should have been more clear on that
Invested in my own dial bore, mics and such. Measured my bores and they were nice & round but found out a couple years later when I had the motor out and decided to stick some rings in it that they never used a deck plate as requested  no wonder they were so round. So the only way to check a bore in my opinion is to use a deck plate. One thing got past me but is corrected now.
I believe the guy I used to talk to at "The Shop" was Lewis, don't know if he's still there or not. They were a customer at my previous place of employment FWIW.

I recently ran into the identical situation w/ the work done by a different shop. The receipt shows bore & hone w/ deck plates; the current shop that re-honed my cylinders said there was no freakin' way they could have used plates because the only way they were round was w/o them.
