Machine shop I used to clean, pressure test, mag, shave and do a valve job on did the heads. The shop im using to assemble the shortblock found this on Friday when the heads went on.

Was told the rips in the seals was from lack of lubrication upon assembly. :eek:

Thank god they caught it now before it was in the truck.Pretty sad when you have what you consider to be a professional shop do some kind of motor work and you wind up with something a 5th grader put together.I'm afraid I would have took it to be done correctly and not looked at that myself.

Both of you ever roll across the same scale? I'm betting James is more then 1000 heavier.
