Not a chance of that happening. Dave and Steve are Super nice guys.

Well yeah now that the thread has already been resurrected and what not

Ball engine, They are nice guys and what not, but they did pull that on me.. i still go there all the time, but whatever,, They did a good job so it didn't matter. They also charged for "disassembly", I figured that would have went under "assemble", but I guess people bring in their blocks and all their parts in boxes and bags? to get assembled there. So they tacked on another $80, i believed. I already had the block there and i'm like you know what forget it, its going to take me another day to take all that shit apart and load it in the car again and drop it off... so i'm like whatever go ahead.
I have a good memory when it comes to numbers and a good few of the things I got they quoted for... they inflated the price when it came time to pay.

For example, I believe bore and hone came to 115 (what he quoted on the phone), He wrote 125 on the invoice... But whatever... its all in the past now. He did the same thing for balancing the rotating assembly.


i believe after all that was said and done it came to 865 (still have the receipt) ... but I did add a few extra things though so its all good. Still not too expensive, but more expensive than I previously thought.

LOL, they are a machine shop, in case you didn't know....you are supposed to take them things disassembled. As far as the Bore and hone goes...its 10 bucks...if that's not what they quoted you....you should have said something.

Sounds like a good experience to me.
