Tony the one that bought this engine in the add on racingjunk got totally screwed buy this guy.

The short block landed in my engine shop this afternoon and what a butcher job, At one time it had spun a bearing or bearings on numbe 2 or 3 rod journal or both as the whole throw is black and the crank was tuned .010 / .020.

This engine has only four 1/8 mile passes on it and the piston skirts are worn right out and the rings are worn out I would say they used some old rings as they were not new thats for sure. Tony said it smoked really bad is why he wanted some one to look at it.

It says its been line bored and line honed but after looking it over they forgot to line hone the block.

The rods were ground so bad to clear the cam there was only about 4 threads holding everything together and one rod bolt was ground twice and it looks like a triange.

When they clearance the block for the 4 inch arm they broke through into water and tried to weld it up.

This is the best part because they did not have enough clearance at the pan rails they ground the heads off some of the rod bolts so bad you can't loosen the rod bolt to get the rods out.

Sorry I don't have no pics but will get some tomorrow and post them.

This is the worst hack job I have ever seen in my life
