[QUOTE="TRMN8RCRIS, post: 14817298, member: 168691"] So I went to the machine shop today to talk to them in person to get all this crap figured out. Pretty much it was a huge miscommunication, which I will admit I did **** up as well, When I first talked to them, I did say that engine will need a rebuild but I didn't tell them I wanted them to do it, I just wanted to know what went wrong, well they thought I did want them to rebuild it which is why they went ahead with it, Also when I called them about what parts he went with and I told him to change the rings, he said thats me letting him go with the rebuild, we argued for a bit about who said what, I told them I'm not paying for parts I don't want in my engine, he is said that is perfectly fine, I will just have to supply the parts I want to him, he will not charge me for the parts he got. I'm perfectly okay with this. That was my main concern, I did not want to pay for something I didn't ask for. He did show me all the parts, pistons and rods are out of the block, only the crank is in. The block is already been bored .20 over so I will have to find pistons to match. Good news is my rods were fine and so was my crank, only the pistons were damaged. I saw them and they did have a lot of scoring on the sides. Now on to go shopping for some pistons and rings. What does everyone recommend? I'm thinking of keeping the CR as close to stock as I can. What rings should I go with. what else should I change out in the short block? [/QUOTE]
