well... i finally get to
- Thread starter malibu795
- Start date
from what i have seen with other stuff that has left his shop i agree.
talked to him today.. the block i have gotten had a piston split in it.. and i bought i knowing that. i didnt have the tool to measure he told me is was .009" deep
so .020" goes the block and adds ~1500 to parts cost
def have a solid short block good to about 750-800 reliably

guy is doing the machine work or what ever is needed so that i can assemble it. bore it .020 over, balancing and resurfacing the deck.
he also said i could barrow the main seal installer and oil primmer.

Adam did you have to go the 20 over?
I have a feeling your motor is going to be stout,need anything metric? remember your Canadian friend

It will be worth the wait when you get it back

that maybe true...
but when i got some one's word it would be ready for pickup 10-31-08 and it is still not ready. irrtates me.
i dont think it guy's intention to have this hapen and believe he will take care of me.
it costing both of us more money then it should. me sitting here waitng for it and guy money as well for the rework that need to get done due to not being done right the first time.
guy said he will call sometime between 0830-0930 and let me know..

well you could of also taken to some crap shop tht could of half ass balnced it and gave it back to you. with out you knowing. i know the time down sucks but to have it done right is more important. even if you expected it earlyer. i have not seen one person say on any build thread any where tht they got wht they wanted whn they expected. its just part of building a motor.
had a long reply typed up and the automatice long erased it

point taken tommy.
bassicly what it come down to someone(s) droped the ball and made guy look bad poiting him between a rock and a hard place on this
as i understand it what couldnt get done right in 2 weeks is gettign done in less then 24 hours.
this is a basic build nothing fancy. line hone, bore "n honed, surfaced, balanced. lot less then what you got done tommy

uses some 200.00 in malory to get the darn thing balanced couldnt get a internal balnacer or flex plate for the lbz crank
block is now get bored over .040 from the .020 orginally... only thing nice about this is it will now be a 410.6ci motor

they are still working on the block.
crank is balanced
lb7/lly are externally balanced vs lbz and newer are internally balanced. that was the main hick-up
hmm i was pretty sure mine was externally balanced as well
How come you had to go 40 over ? is tht wht it needed or did you just want the extra air ?
