Thread: EEK Motor Back From Machine Shop To Find This!!

Tweet

I now have also magnified the pic of the gouge and it appears that it was definately there before the honing-

also as I said before about the quality of the hone job--sucks even more after viewing it many times amplified.

You need a different block machined to fit your parts done by a shop that knows how, has the proper equipment, and knowledge/care about assembly------

Its these kind of shops that make it reasonable to go the crate engine route.

See the thing is when i tore this motor down Which it was all original. never used any oil or running issues. I looked at every cyl and there were no scratches or gouges like this on them. And i also thought if they seen this they should of contacted me befor assy cause i would of returned piston & rings and went .040 I brought it to this shop as its really the one around me that has newer machines clean work space and a professional look. I'm holding my tongue on saying anything bad about the owner as this could of been one of the workers.
This is the shop
