Not defending his work there because you're right something is definitely off, but I'm wondering if he might be rushing jobs..... Still he should have at least called up and said something was wrong if he found something before proceeding. Providing he is the one at fault. Unless he had someone else put it together........ I sometimes see another guy in the shop helping him.

This motor was actually at his shop twice. He had it for 2-3 months. The first time we got it back I took a lifter out and saw metal shavings along with pieces of rag on the cam. He was supposed to take it back apart and clean it... doesn't look like he did that.
Last night I made a few phone calls and heard nothing but bad things about him. I will say he didn't do a bad job cleaning my heads but even when he tanked my block it came out terrible.
Looks like I'll be taking a trip to Five Star after work tomorrow. Might as well let them clean up the crank, rebalance, change cam bearings, maybe do the final hone and tank it again.
