I hope he pulled the timing cover first and didn't pull the heads off first?
Excellent point. Would anyone here pull the timing cover off the motor before the heads? I sure wouldn't....unless there was something suspect there I knew about...
In the end it's all how he fixes the problem. Within' 2 days of you having the issue, the problem has already been found, and the new parts are on the way. As long as there is a $0 bill to go with it, that's about as much as you could ask for out of anyone...

got a call. the builder said it was the timing gear on the crank for the gear drive. it was broke and came apart when he took the cover off. we didnt even mess with it so thats pretty wild. it was a milodon gear drive. never heard of that breaking on a motor that was never even cranked before!
he said he looked at his notes and he set the valve lash so he would have had to turn the motor when he built it and it was fine then. i am not sure who is going to pick up the bill for the tear down and reassembly. he called milodon to see what they said.
Tom had a similar incident. The snout on the 440source crank was on the higher end of the tolerance and we installed the lower Milodon gear. When we went to install the blower hub it wouldn't go on. so he tried to tap the lower gear off with a 1lb ball peen hammer and a chisel and the gear split in half. little too much tension from the tight fit I guess, oops. the gear was hard to install originally. He got another lower gear and he polished down the snout on the crank.
