Well it started about three weeks and I thought I only had a loose rocker yeah lol... So I pull the valve cover off and come to find out I sheared about a 1/4 of an inch off a valve stem . Now the head has to come off so, I take the intake off to get to the head and find out my windage has been bent and never kept the one lifter keeper in place and my two lifters trashed my cam...so know I got the machinist who put the bottom end together coming over this week to see what he is gonna do for me, he said " he's gonna take full responsibility for it" we'll see...

Damn, that sucks, but lets hope he stays true to his word. Then you wouldn't be as out as you could have been.

He should stay true to his word , he is a teacher with my dad at the same school.... I wouldn't even mind buying the cam and lifters as long as he made good on what he f@#ked up and 4 bolted the block for me and got it back to me with in the week, we can keep it civil. we'll see...Wednesday

Sorry it took so long to get back the past month been so damn busy, but any way he said he's gonna clean the block , bring the deck height down to zero ,and port my intake to 58mm for nothing, also a gasket set. he also said i'd get it back in less than week...In the end i think i made out except for the time down in the start of the season. Plus a nice big cam instead of that little .550 ...

Glad he made good with you. I can understand the busy part. Hell for the past few days I've been wanting to just slam my face into my bed and sleep as soon as I get home.
