If the shop isn't very well versed in import engines, then yes, I'd cut my losses and move on to a shop that is more experienced in imports.
It will save you money in the long run...

I don't think they have one. But they said they worked on a proven motor thats owned by a different shop. Well come to find out the block, that they said the worked on came from someone else, in a different state. So thats going to be my final decision. I'm just taking it somewhere else.

Believe me, SLOW IT DOWN, save your money or do what ever you need to do. This is from over a years worth of HIND SIGHT, ship it to Rich and let him do the work. Also send him the crank, the rods, the fly wheel & the ATI Super Damper, have him lighten & polish the crank & maybe knife edge it, niteride the crank and spin balance the entire assembly. Maybe even add the TMS Billet main caps-I didn't! You will be very pleased with your investment in the end, with great piece of mind.

I mean, Im not really trying to build a race car. I'm just getting a solid bottom end, for a bigger turbo, and injectors sometime down the road.
Well i got good news from my machine guy today. For won he was kinda pissed that i needed him to bore the block. From what he said its perfect for stock pistions and that it was an as-shame to bore it. But i proceeded to tell him that im using probe 84 mil pistons and that i needed to torque the mains down,put the timing cover on,and torque the tension er down. so it took him a min and he said ya that makes alot of since with all that done the motor would not flex as much. so i think im going to stick with this guy.

Yes i know this, but that's all dm had in stock when i was ordering my parts.slap my hand and tell me no next time lol i will order from you. Plus this i just a trial run for me if i blow it o well its just a builder to me. it not going to be a everyday for me. Its just something that can be bad ass and it gets me out of the house from the wife lol. I have another block to spare to.
Wait so over boring can lower the life of the block? Im having to use a .020 over piston cause a pervious machine shop didnt break the glaze correctly.
