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.
