I just thought i would post these.... I know a few of you thought it was really odd that my pistons were grabbing the one side... it turns out the old machine shop bored my block wrong... Good news the new pistons and engine should be done tuesday.







New Short Block

What the fuck did they do?

Was the bore not round? Or offset to the one side?
They paid for all the work in the end right? I sure hope so...

Put em on ebay....LOL

Don't tell me they bored the thing without a torque plate...lol that could cause some issues, but not as bad as what you got I wouldn't have thought.

Wait... the pistons are offset right? what if they put them in backwards... hmmm.

Yeah, they paid me back for the entire rebuild them fucks... i will never take my engine to "RPM" EVER again..... I had a family recommended shop do it this time.... they have done a great job so far and they are very trustworthy... Yeah i saw those and had about the same reaction as the rest of you only my blood was boiling.
