My engine is apart and I get to see what the previous build did wrong (read - everything).
I have to find a shortblock now (I am in Canada). Any ideas on where to look for a GOOD one? I am trying to steer away from JDM as much as possible, but if all else fails, I may end up looking there.
why do "mechanics" and "machine shops" do crazy things to our engines? (My bearings are toast, they resized the mains and the crank without any balancing... resized the rods, assembled the head incorrectly, put a OEM HG on and said it was a Cometic... etc.. etc... lol. The oil journals were "machined"... why?
My concern is to have a bottom end that is done correctly. I dont really care too much about the $$ side...
