Well for those of you who saw my thread about the head gasket coolant leak on my newly built Blake Holcomb motor I'd say its pretty easy to see why. Each deep groove led to a coolant leak and you gotta love that balance job.

I hate to say it, but after seeing that I would check all clearances, bolt torques and so forth.

#Coyotelivesmatter When are people going to stop buying from this asshat? Like mentioned above I've never seen positive information, just a slew of his crap work.

I think I would tear it all the way down. I don't think I could trust any of his work after seeing that. I feel for you, good luck moving forward.

Wow! I've never seen a build this bad... I've never even conceived the idea of someone balancing a crank shaft like that. WTF?

Please post more pics... There has to be even more carnage than this based just on the crank.

Wow, that is probably the worst deck and worst heavy metal job I have seen in my entire life. They destroyed that counter weight.

I would strip that entire block down and rebuild it. If he is shipping it with the visible pieces looking like that who knows what care went into the things you can't see.

I think he just sanded the deck with a cinderblock or dragged it down the driveway.
