Nice "custom" balance work he did to the big end of the rod.

Hopefully this first engine builder who appears to be INCOMPETENT slithers away and doesn't STEAL anyone else's hard earned cash. I have been burned on a smaller scale before so I completely understand,Smitty

I really can't believe that there is more stuff you guys are uncovering. Unbelievable.
Good news is that you are going forward with this project, no longer backward.
You made a good decision to 'pony up' and switch places. Most of us would have fell for the schit and just brought them back for further degression.
And yes, your info has helped others in making choices already.

The funny part is that back on 8/22/06 I sent him the pictures and the findings after we ripped the motors apart,just to show him what he gave me.I also asked him to reconsider the deal and try to help me out of this situation.But till this day not a word.I would have been happy with a"sorry,but we already have a deal" or something,maybe offer the help out with the extra machine work that needs to be done.The best part is that he requested those cams and lifters back because he says there is nothing wrong with either of them and he will reuse them
