Sol is running finally after two months...ended up being a really small repair.
So sell or keep?

So... its Labor Day and I have work. My parents and I are supposed to go to Tennessee last night and stay there til tomorrow but since I have to work, we didn't go. I go to work this morning, my schedule was changed apparently and I'm not supposed to work today AND NO ONE FUCKING NOTIFIED ME. I catch up with Jamie and the others to Six Flags, bought a ticket online (cheaper). They told me they're at Six Flags, I go to Six Flags AMUSEMENT PARK, they didn't notify me either that they were at the WATER PARK one. FUCK. $31.99 and 1/4 of the gas tank wasted. Today is not a fucking good day.
Well, block is rebuilt. Going to start dismantling the head and get it tanked.
You should, ill be bringing either one or both of mine.
Where do you work?
I'll have to come by sometime just to meet you. When do you wanna get that window regulator?
Keep.
x2 on the heights. When do you want me to do the body work?
Anyone got a recommendation for a machine shop around here?
I really just want the head cleaned. It's nowhere near horrible, but the exhaust ports are a little dirty.
Agreed, even though they are taking forever with my buddies svt block. It's been almost 4 weeks. Guess i'll give them a call tomorrow and see how it is, again...
Ok, when i have enough money to afford going out to lunch, i'll have to stop by. Just let me know when you have some free time or i can bring it with me to work and see about meeting you after work or something.
And hopefully sometime this weekend, there will be another svtf back on the road again. Motor will be here tomorrow, other misc parts thurs. and get oils, plugs, etc this weekend.
What did they do wrong if you dont mind my asking? Everyone I know who has used them in the surrounding area seems to be happy with them and I've never had an issue thats why I always recommend them. If they are slipping that would be nice to know.
I know Zappa's in Newnan fucking blows. I wouldn't use them again if they were the only shop around. Fucked up my flywheel on my Escort, Fucked up my buddies king pins on his 68' F100 and my buddy even gave him the correct reamer cause the guy didnt have one, and then they fucked up my Bro-in-laws wheel bearing on his Taurus.
The Shitbox

its alot of fun. it needs roughly 20hp more and a bit better engine response (liteweight flywheel!!!!!) decent springs, strut tower bars, and a short throw and it'd be pretty spiffy!

did they assemble it?
its the person assembling the the motor's responsibility to check bearing size?

It was their responsibility to check clearance for the bearings. We had them do all the measuring and balancing and we assembled. Where the problem came into play is when we went to assemble the bottom end and when we put the bearings on the motor, they were obviously wrong. Bearings were placed right and they were too long and not even the right curvature. Even "pushing" them into place, they were too long.
I agree with mike. When i was going through H23's he did all the machining and assembling and everything was correct.
