Shortblock build----ANGRY!!!
I misunderstood, "hauling around", I thought/assumed you said you were charged to haul the block around SoCal for work to be done. I think/thought BMS was the machine shop and they did it all in house on property. I don't know what to tell you. Your in a pickle, talk to him let him know your...- MAXLLY

Shortblock build----ANGRY!!!
Scary huh? Run through it with a fine tooth comb... No tricks to this motor. Perhaps if the failures were spelled out for us we would know what to watch out for? Sweet, you heard of any 1st week failures? 1st week? That would be impatient foot or bottom end issues. Anybody? Pat, what...- MAXLLY

Beginning of the end?
Status. I have all the parts required to assemble the motor. Had a fit problem with the rod/piston last Saturday, Guy swapped me out Monday and sent me down the road, fast and efficient as usual. Check the small end width when using aftermarket rods with aftermarket pistons. No big deal, it...- MAXLLY
