The engine machinists made every thing good. Included 2 new liners, c/shaft polished, new main bearings, new bottom end brgs, new rings.
Initial agrement was I front for parts and they would do all machining.
When I went to pick it up 2 weeks ago with money in my pocket.
To my surprise nil cost to me. They sttod by their work, corrected it and its now in engine stand having been through 3 heat cycles for retorqing.
This has restored my faith in people!
Hope you can have similar assistance and help from machinist as this is gut wrenching when shit like this happens. Hang in there!

It didn’t do anything, it runs well, it just got lots of bearing in the oil, guy rang me and sed he wants to take a look inside.
I am glad you got a good outcome,
