[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 14814979, member: 20202"] Opps At least the shop is owning up to the fact they screwed-up. Yea I would be very suspicious of this engine and [U]inform the owner the engine will need to be broken down to the bare crank and inspect everything and replace parts as needed.[/U] The shop should "eat" this job "lock, stock and barrel"! They have created more problems than they solved and took 3 weeks doing it Chances are they used the same approach as you would rebuilding a passenger car engine. Get a list of the parts they installed perhaps some of it can be salvaged if they got them from a good source but something tells me they just called their distributer and ordered aftermarket "engine rebuild parts for an 03 Cobra" sourced from who knows where. Did they use a torque plate when they bored the block? Did they replace all the TTY bolts? what's the CR and PWC of the pistons? where did they get the valve gear drive components? What a mess! Something tells me this is going to be an interesting thread. Good luck, I hope this story has a happy ending. [/QUOTE]
