As with any high perf engine...........never assume anything is perfect. If you have the tools, it just takes a bit of time to check. Heck I know of people even on this board who bought new rotating assemblies that would barely rotate when put together. Now that's a disappointment !

Looks like you're in Ohio ? Maybe someone on this board can recommend a shop ?
