I've assembled motors minus cam bearings (and having the crank checked). This was not my short block, I didn't have any free time and my brother was in a rush for some reason so he had the shop do the machining and assembly.
It just sucks, he did more harm then good.

I will talk to him before the week is over and show him the motor if he wants to see it. I've talked to a few big shot local names here and they all shook their head when I mentioned this specific shop.

Unfortunately I can't spend any money to correct this at this point in time. It's on the back burner for a few weeks because I just picked up a 1969 camaro and am going to need to invest in some small odds and ends (weather stripping, bushings, etc).
