[QUOTE="dadro77, post: 9974146, member: 44771"] Well, it is at the third machine shop right now. First one did a deck, hot tank, and .20 over and hone (But the guy is king off new to alluminum mod motors). The second one was going to balance the rotating assembly, and check everything out. So, he does all that and cross threads the cylinder walls, and torque plates it, the whole nine yards. When it comes back, we notice there are a couple nicks on one deck surface. So it goes back again, and the you did it, you did it finger pointing starts. He then re-decks it, charges another $200. After the shortblock is assembled, we notice one side the pistons come up to the top, and the other they come a pussy hair out. So it is now at the third one to see if we can even the decks, and run a thicker head gasket, or start all over with a new block. I want to use this one, as it is the original Teksid from my car.....
