            Last year I paid ******* to have my ***** engine rebuilt. I was going to buy a used engine and put it in but he said could rebuild mine to be like new. It took 8 months to get it back because they did it wrong twice and had to go back in before giving it to me. I got it finally after just telling them I will be in friday to pick it up of super bowl week. I got it he said he pressurized it for me so it was ready to go and to it oil that needed to be changed at 500 miles. Break in oil. I put it in the car started it up and the motor is making noise was low 1+ qts on oil. My son called immediately the guy said its under warranty they will take care of it. then I called several times. Including just now. He keeps telling me he needs to others done to get mine in that was 3 weeks ago or more. I need my ***** running by the 25th of May for a trip. I told him that. I either need it running or my **** back so i can get a used engine and go that route. I dont like run around or playing games.

            Ok. I took an almost new 4 bolt block, pistons and rods to Fiddlers on Feb 28th. He kept sidestepping me about getting it done. I finally got a little pissed and he told me that his " helper" accidently bored my block .030 oversized and he would have to buy a set of pistons. That was a month ago. Now last week I got really huffy with him and I also talked to a few people I know to light a fire under him. So, Tuesday he calls and tells me my engine is ready. I went and got it. Came home and inspected it, And it is not my engine. It is somebody else's block and is bored .060 oversize. I had taken him a set of stock pin height Silvolite coated pistons and he gave me back Sealed power pistons. If they are " builder pistons" the pin height will be .020 different and throw my compression height calculations out the window. This whole thing has p***** my off to the point of filing fraud charges with the attorney general's office..but I am getting my teeth because Kevin has done me a good job for years. I do not know what went on in his head on this job, but it is not good and I don't like ending up with a maximum overbored block. Taking a 350 to .060 over can be a risk as far as I am reading if it sonic tests good I will just stop doing business with him. If it does not test good, I am going to call the attorney general.
