Why is everyone shy? Just broswing the forum everyday, i know alot of built motors have blown up.
Its part of the game. Shops that promise the world. If u think u get OEM quality with the tools and cleanyness of most provide, u are kidding yourself. Shops generally use geneic engine reconditioners to machine and prep blocks. They dont care. Its all about throughput.
I do know of a company though, they dont advertise here, never heard them mentioned, but i would say are the ONLY place i would trust. The only place ive ever see backup there word, provide full blueprints. They build race-spec engines, not just use race-spec parts.

Yes....but if someone has never seen all the artist draw or seen their art...how can they say one art is better than the other
Before someone can come on here and say that one shop builds motors better than the other....you have to get all shops mentioned to build the exact motor and get a 3rd party to decide who is better than the other. Put all motors on an engine dyno run them for equal amounts of time...disassemble the motor and do measurements.
Until then..all we can do is speculate...Shop A build motor...Shop B installed motor...motor fails...who's fault is it
We don't know for sure...its still in the middle even from the results posted....Members 1,2,3 & 4 got their motors from shop A...they end up with similar results..failed motors. Motors were installed at different shops...so yes...its most likely would be an issue with Shop A...BUT if all 4 motors involved was installed at the same shop...it would once again go back to the center as speculation who is at fault.Now for someone to come on here and say one shop is better than another at assembling a motor...that person needs to also mention in the same statement that THEY themselves are a qualified engine builder and has visited Shop A, B, C, & D and they have found said shop/s lacking in assembly skills.
So to come on here with TASTELESS plugging of a shop before doing the above helps no one ...but helps to take this thread in a direction that Romey did not intend it to go.
go-fast...this is not directed at you
