There are reputable engine builders here too.

By not being specific about your location in Idaho, you cast a shadow on all the engine builders here.

I had my engine rebuilt and it runs beautifully.

The machinist even drove across the valley to be here for the first start.
I apologize for that,,
I don't like to bad mouth, I even thought about just PMing some guys from here to avoid that.
I sure that many of his builds seem fine,, we don't drive these cars too hard.
But unfortunately I am being honest in my evaluation and I actually feel bad about that.
Or should I have just run the crank .0045 off center on the center main, and the babbit loose and wiggly in the block, I'm not being smart................
The old guy loves the model A stuff.....oh well. I try to love him, but it is expensive.
I live in I F.
