After bringing the engine to another machine shop to be taken apart, inspected and measured, the following were found. The bearings were worn, oil pump was no good, original pistons had excessive clearance, one connecting rod was way out of size on the bottom end, heads were very bad on the gasket surface, original springs were used after rebuild, valves were bent due to to much lift on the high performance cam installed causing valve contact with pistons, the cylinder walls had .007 taper and a lip at the top showing it was never bored tank dipped, peened & tumbled or baked like I was told.
When I asked the owner John Reis of East Coast Engine Rebuilders Inc why he didn't bore the engine or replace the pistons, he replied, it was fine and didn't need to be bored and couldn't find .030 over pistons. Even though that was what I wanted and he said was done on the bill of sale or repair order. I have since contacted a Laywer to get my money back. John Reis did allow the company that he bought the carb. from to refund it to me. It was 410.00 out of the 500.00 I gave him. I will not give up untill this is resolved.
Thank You,
